Second RFEF’s Pontevedra, with its Pasarón stadium, is the main star of the Copa del Rey so far. Last night they managed to beat the current runners-up of the competition, Mallorca, by a 3-0 scoreline which put them in the round of 16 of the tournament. Previously, they also eliminated Villarreal and Oviedo at home.
It will be the simplest club in the next draw on Wednesday, unless someone else joins it strongly this weekend. Super Cup teams will lose their special status in the next round so Pontevedra will face a Primera that could be Real, if they beat Ponferradina.
If this match takes place, there will be a special reunion, as a former Realist plays and enjoys football in the giant-killer Cup. Hector Hernandezalso known as ‘Litry’, is the starting left back of the Second RFEF team. It was txuri urdin. He arrived at the Zubieta youth academy from Zaragoza in the summer of 2013. After two seasons at Sanse he jumped to the Txuri Urdin first team, where he spent a season and a half under the command of Moyes and Eusebius. He played a total of 18 games and provided one assist, before going out on loan to Granada and Alavés and eventually leaving the San Sebastian entity in the summer of 2018 for Tenerife.
Now, at 33 years old and after a season without a team, he continues to make steps in his career in Pontevedra, in the fourth category of national football. They are having a dream season as they are leading the League and in the Cup they have already scored three goals against their people against professional football teams, two of them from the First Division. On January 15 they will host another great club with the quarterfinals on the horizon.
