Partey features as lower-tier side shock Atletico in Copa Del Rey

Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey played for Atletico Madrid as they were shocked 2-1 by Cultural Leonesa in the Spanish Copa Del Rey on Thursday night.

Sergio Benito then delivered the winner for the hosts in the second period of extra-time.

Partey was introduced at half time in place of Mexico international Hector Herrera.

The defeat completes a miserable January for Diego Simeone’s Atletico who were defeated in the Spanish Super Cup by Real Madrid and 2-0 at Eibar in La Liga last weekend.
