Cope del Rey - 1st Round, 1st Leg

CLUB BRUGGE 3 BENIDORMIDA 4

First cup game for the Division 2 Cup Winners, an away trip to Brugge, these teams haven't met since Brugge got promoted 2 seasons ago.

5 changes from the side that beat Betis, Tonel, Jose, Ntibazonkiz and Remy all come into the team.

3 minutes gone and Charlie Davies opens the scoring, Leao turns and gets past his man at the edge of the box, he then plays a lovely pass into Davies and he finished neatly into the corner.
It only took Brugge 2 minutes to answer back, a counter-attack down the right the cross is whipped in and Sonck beats Dida to make to 1-1, and Sonck repeated the move 30 mins later, Grimi went missing from left back, and a low ball was played in for Sonck to apply the easy finish.

The second half didn't get much better for Benidormida, the ball was played over the top for Sonck, his shot was parried by Dida and Akpala was the first man to react making it 3-1 to Brugge.

This seemed to wake the Spaniards up, Manuel Jose's cross was met by Davies and his header was well saved down low, away for a corner, Ntibazonkiza ran over to take it, beautifully swung in and Leao rose highest and powered the ball past Stijnen, 2nd away goal for Gibney's men.

Benidormida went on the attack again, Leao played a 1-2 with Davies, the defence got a foot in, the ball fell to Manuel Jose and he fired it past Stijnen, 6 goals, 3 each, and still 10 minutes to go.

4 minutes later Benidormida got a free kick, Zebina played the long ball, it fell to Leao, he finds Jose plays it to Remy, he took a touch, and played a lovely reverse ball, which found Manuel Jose all on his own to slot it past the Brugge keeper for the 4-3 lead.

Club Brugge had no way back into this and the referee blew his whistle, 7 goal thriller, 4 away goals for Benidormida, Manuel Jose didn't score all last season, 2 brilliant goals in this game.

The tie is far from over, only one goal behind, Brugge could answer back in Benidorm.

M.O.M - Manuel Jose - Benidormida
