Auriense seeks Copa del Rey upset with 2-0 lead over San José

Ourense club Auriense faces San José in Soria today with a 2-0 first-leg lead, seeking to advance in the Copa del Rey preliminary round and earn a spot against a top-flight team in the first round draw on Monday. Auriense coach Dani Prado warns the result is deceptive, noting San José's home advantage and festive atmosphere could pressure his young squad. He emphasizes avoiding early goals and off-field distractions, while missing Cuña, Joaquín, and Baldo, with Massi and Fer Méndez doubtful. San José coach Carlos Carramiñana believes his team has realistic comeback chances at home, though he will be without Jonathan Romero, Marcos González, Pablo Tejedor, and Aitor Herrero. The match kicks off at 16:00 in San Juan de Garray, with heavy rain forecast.
