Girona entered the Copa del Rey on the right foot by beating Cuarte 0-2, in a match in which the difference in categories was reflected on the pitch. The team led by Quique Álvarez left no room for surprises, approaching the round with the seriousness necessary to secure passage to the next stage without tremors, on a stage where favorites so often stumble.
The night served, above all, to give minutes to those less used and to boost the confidence of the attack. Two forwards came out with clear reasons to smile: Abel Ruiz found his way to goal again, ending a long streak, while Pyshchur made his debut by scoring in the white-and-red shirt, corresponding to the enthusiasm he has been generating in Montilivi. It was precisely these moments of efficiency that made the difference in a game in which Girona controlled the tempo, managed possession and accelerated when necessary.
Without the need for major efforts, the Catalans set their pace early on, protecting themselves from a scenario that so often characterizes the Copa del Rey: a surprise against a lower-ranked opponent. Cuarte showed organization and dedication, but rarely managed to consistently trouble a visiting team that was solid in duels and judicious in releasing the ball. The Girona goalkeeper had a relatively calm night, largely due to the good use of space and the team's ability to recover quickly after a loss.
Quique Álvarez's bet on rotating the squad paid off, allowing him to achieve a clean victory and, at the same time, charge his batteries for the upcoming commitments. For the dressing room, there is a positive note from the goals scored by the men in front: Abel Ruiz gains momentum to discuss the place in the eleven with fresher arguments, while Pyshchur confirms the good indications he was leaving, now with an official record on the sheet.
In the context of a knockout game and on someone else's field, Girona fulfilled the essentials: they kept the door closed at the back, were effective in the opposite area and managed the advantage with maturity. The passage to the next round is thus sealed with a 0-2 that reflects the difference between the teams and reinforces the idea that, with competitive seriousness, the Copa del Rey can also be a path to affirmation for those who aspire to go far in the competition.

With this victory, Girona advances to the next stage of the Copa del Rey, where they will face potentially more challenging opponents.
