The C.D. Leganés faces this Tuesday (20:00) Ourense C.F. at the O Couto stadium, in a match corresponding to the first elimination of the Copa de S.M. El Rey. The pepineros will look for to advance to the following round before a local picture that faces with enthusiasm the match.
The C.D. Leganés is making its debut in the current edition of the copero tournament, a competition that has brought it joy in recent years. The pepineros reached the eighth of final in the last two seasons, falling against F.C. Barcelona in the Camp Nou last season and against Real Madrid in the previous one, although their top came three years ago, when they reached a historical semifinal against Sevilla F.C.
Now, José Luis Martí's team is looking to take the first step in the competition and advance to the second round. For this reason, the coach Pepinero announced this Monday that he will have a team formed almost entirely by footballers of the first team, although some youth squads could be part of a call in which the injured Bustinza and Santos, who are still recovering, will not be present.
Ourense C.F. is looking forward to its debut in the Cup
For its part, the Ourense C.F. faces the clash with the illusion of living a historic night in the tournament copero. The Galicians are currently in seventh position in Group 1B of the Third Division after ten days of matches, having won three consecutive matches and twelve of the last fifteen points.
The team coached by Rubén Domínguez was last year on the way to a historic promotion to Second Division 'B' for a team that only five years ago was playing in the Galician First Division. As a result of that great season, in which they finished second in the regular league and only gave in the play-off final against Compostela, they will be making their debut this Tuesday in the Copa del Rey in an O Couto that will be attended by fans in the stands. The match will be refereed by the Basque referee, Mr. Iñaki Vicandi Garrido.
