Sergio Castel, who played for Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League last season, starred with a double in Ibiza's win over Celta Vigo in the Copa Del Rey.

Ibiza, the Spanish third division side from the island which attracts revellers from the around the world, staged a party of its own on Tuesday as it routed La Liga side Celta Vigo 5-2 in a Copa del Rey second round tie.

A double from Sergio Castel and a Javi Perez strike saw the minnows race into a 3-0 lead inside the opening half an hour, while Manu Molina stretched their lead just past the hour mark with a chipped 'Panenka' penalty. Castel played for Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League on loan from Atletico Madrid B before moving to Ibiza on loan again this season.

Celta tried to stage a late comeback with goals from Santi Mina and Jordan Holsgrove while Mina also missed a 90th minute penalty before Angel Rodado struck a fifth for the hosts in added time to adorn a stunning victory for the islanders.

Novel coronavirus restrictions prevented a full capacity crowd attending, but 500 supporters practicing social distancing were able to partake in the festivities in the stands.
