    Football: Chance For Glory In David Vs Goliath Copa Del Rey Ties In Spain

    By IANS News October 28, 2025 • 21:48 PM View: 453
    UD Las Garres: The Copa del Rey first round continues on Wednesday with five matches involving teams from La Liga, all travelling to face lower league rivals. Elche make a short trip to the region of Murcia to face UD Las Garres, an amateur side from a village of just over 7,000 inhabitants that plays in Spain's sixth tier in the 1,000-capacity Las Tejeras Stadium.

    Villarreal currently sit third in La Liga after winning away to Valencia on Sunday night, but Marcelino Garcia Toral's side will have a different challenge away to fifth-tier Ciudad de Lucena, from the province of Cordoba in the south of Spain. The 5,000-capacity Ciudad de Lucena Stadium will be packed to the rafters as the home side looks to pull off an unlikely surprise against a rival with a poor record in the annual knockout competition.

    Osasuna have to fly to Mallorca to face another amateur side, with CD Sant Jordi awaiting in its 1,500-capacity stadium. Osasuna are the clear favourite, but the Sant Jordi players and fans will know the team from Pamplona has lost all of their away matches this season and travels after a surprise 3-2 defeat at home to Celta Vigo, reports Xinhua.
