MATCH REPORT | Valencia CF Defeats Ourense CF to Advance to Copa del Rey Quarterfinals (0-2)

Sadiq scores his first goal as a Valencia CF player

Valencia CF secured a 2-0 victory over Ourense CF in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 on Tuesday at the Estadio de O Couto. An own goal by Carmona and a strike from Sadiq, who was highly active in attack throughout the match, ensured Valencia’s progression to the quarterfinals of the competition.

From the outset, Carlos Corberán’s team dominated possession, with early attacking runs by Jesús Vázquez. In the 8th minute, Vázquez’s cross set up a header by Sadiq, which narrowly missed over the crossbar—almost marking his first goal for Valencia CF.

Sadiq, making his first start, became the focal point of Valencia’s attack. Near the half-hour mark, Foulquier, assisted by Germán Valera, delivered a cross intended for Sadiq, but the Ourense goalkeeper intercepted it before it reached the forward.

Sadiq continued to press, forcing a fine save in the 41st minute with a powerful header from a Pepelu corner. The breakthrough came early in the second half when Martín Tejón’s cross deflected off Carmona into his own net, putting Valencia ahead (0-1).

An hour into the match, Valencia launched a swift counterattack, with Sadiq producing an inventive strike that rattled the crossbar.

Ourense, undeterred, responded with their best chance of the match—a dangerous effort from Ángel Sánchez that Dimitrievski and the post combined to repel. The Galician side enjoyed their strongest spell with several threatening attacks but failed to find an equalizer.

In the 78th minute, Sadiq was finally rewarded for his efforts. Displaying great individual skill, he evaded multiple defenders with a slick inside move and struck the ball into the back of the net to double Valencia’s lead (0-2).

Late in the match, Valencia CF Academy player Pablo López made his official debut, and the team sealed their place in the quarterfinals. Valencia now await their next opponent, to be determined in Monday’s draw.
