Debuts for Catalá and Almansa
The pair feature in the Copa del Rey game against San Tirso
The first Copa del Rey match of the season provided indelible memories for two players: José Luis Catalá and Álex Almansa, who made their debuts with the first team.
Catalá, who had already featured in minutes in preseason, made his official debut with the number 27 shirt, forming the central axis of the defence alongside Sergi Gómez. Almansa, who was called up for the first time, came on in the final stretch of the second half.
The pair were not the only players from 'La 21' who were prominent. Antoniu Roca, who has appeared in several matches this season, and Rafa Bauza, who played last season with the first team in the Segunda División, were starters and completed a significant amount of minutes.
