Holders Real Madrid cruised Tuesday into the round of
16 of the Spanish cup with a 5-0 destruction of regionalthird-division side Cornella.
It was Real's 17th straight win in all competitions, a new club
record. They went through on an emphatic 9-1 aggregate, having won
the first leg 4-1 in Cornella.
Colombian playmaker James Rodriguez was the star in the Estadio
Bernabeu with a handsome brace. Isco and youngster Jese - just back
after a long injury lay-off - scored the other goals, plus an own
goal from Cornella's Borja Lopez.
Cornella midfielder Xavi Boniquet earned an early penalty for the
visitors but blasted his spot-kick over the crossbar.
Wednesday will see Barcelona visit Huesca, also of the regional third
division, while Atletico Madrid will face Hospitalet.
