Atlético Unión Güímar seeks historic Copa del Rey advancement

Atlético Unión Güímar is one match away from a historic opportunity to face a Primera División team in the Copa del Rey. The Tenerife-based club will host Sporting Hortaleza at the Tasagaya Municipal Stadium this Sunday at 12:00.

Following a difficult first leg in Madrid, where the team faced a hostile environment and three red cards, Güímar managed to keep the tie alive despite trailing 0-1. To advance to the next round and join the top-tier clubs, the southern team must overturn the deficit through regulation time, extra time, or penalties.

Club president and player Javier Favarel expressed high hopes for the return leg, noting that the team successfully navigated the adversities of the first match. Coach Aythamy Díaz has called on local supporters to fill the stadium to provide a decisive home-field advantage.
