Ponferradina will face Real Sociedad at the Estadio El Toralin on Sunday in the last 32 of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The home side closed out 2024 on a high as they won their final three games of the year and will be looking to pick up where they left off in the new year.
They saw off Escobedo and La Liga 2 side Castellon in the first and second rounds of the cup competition respectively, beating both sides on penalties and have a sterner test this time around as they take on top-flight opposition.
Real Sociedad were drawn against Jove Espanol in their cup opener back in October and carried out a 5-0 dismantling of the fifth-tier outfit featuring goals from four different players including Ander Barrenetxea, who scored a brace. They were then made to work hard for a 1-0 win over Conquense in the next round, needing extra time to overcome the Segunda Federacion side.
