Almeria coach Gaizka Garitano offered no excuses after their shock Copa del Rey defeat to Barbastro.

The Segunda Federacin outfit stunned Almeria last night.

Garitano said: "It is a discredit and a hard blow. An elimination, and now we have to think about the League."

"We knew where we had come and we wanted to approach this match very seriously but they beat us in the duels and in the intensity, and we had to show that we are of a superior category, but we haven't.

"The referee should have shown several red cards but he did not do so, although Barbastro was superior and deserved to go through because it has played their game and we have not been able to overcome them."
