Christantus Uche played a key role in Getafe’s narrow 1-0 victory over Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey round of 16.

Getafe made an electric start, taking the lead in just the second minute. Uche delivered a clever assist to Alvaro Rodriguez, who dribbled past two defenders before unleashing a stunning long-range strike into the net.

Despite losing Rodriguez to a red card in the 41st minute, Getafe displayed grit and determination to preserve their slim advantage against Pontevedra’s relentless attacks. Uche’s early contribution proved decisive as Getafe secured a place in the quarterfinals.
