Our Copa del Rey campaign came to an end with a 3-0 defeat to Pontevedra in our first game of 2025.
Jagoba Arrasate named a rotated side for the cup fixture and introduced Leo Roman in goal while also starting Antonio Sanchez, Mateu Morey and Asano.
We didn't get off to the best start and found ourselves a goal behind in the 22nd minute when Dalisson unleashed an unstoppable drive from distance.
The hosts held onto their lead as we entered the break as we attempted to level matters through Abdon and Asano in attack.
We introduced various names such as Sergi Darder and later Vedat Muriqi and Cyle Larin not long after the restart as we pushed for a leveller.
Pontevedra hit us on the counter as we applied pressure in the final third as Yelko applied the finsihing touch in the 49th minute before Rufo added a third to round off the scoring.
