Sevilla secured a comfortable victory in the Copa del Rey, beating Sporting de Hortaleza 3‑0 at the El Val municipal stadium. The match, which was held on October 29, 2026 at 9:00 p.m. CET, had a large attendance of fans who accompanied the team on its journey. The win allowed Sevilla to advance smoothly to the next phase of the competition.
Sporting de Hortaleza, a team from the Primera Autonómica de Madrid, failed to generate any real threat in the match. Sevilla, for its part, deployed a formation in which Luis García Plaza introduced several players with little experience in the League. Among the debutants was goalkeeper Fran González, who kept a clean sheet during the 90 minutes. Other non-regular players, such as Carmona, Sangante, Julio Díaz and Alfon, were also starters.
The pitch, made of natural grass and of exceptional dimensions (108x72 metres), allowed Sevilla to make category differences from the start. At 24 minutes, a header from Robbie Ure put the Seville team ahead after a great cross from Alfon from the right. Before the break, a penalty converted by Carmona gave Ure the second goal, leaving Sporting with a 0‑2 lead.
The result allowed Sevilla to control the second half of the match. A gift from the Madrid defense was taken advantage of by Ure, who mounted a counterattack and left the Swiss Rubén Vargas with a chance to score at 0‑3. The final goal consolidated Sevilla's victory and gave them a secure position in the group stage of the Copa del Rey.
With the victory, Sevilla advances to the next round of the competition, while Sporting de Hortaleza is out of the Copa del Rey. The Seville team maintains its position in the table and will continue seeking to consolidate its performance in the coming days.
