Estonian national team goalkeeper Karl Jakob Hein picked up an injury in the Copa del Rey round of 32 fixture against Ourense, due to which he had to be substituted at half time. Oliver Jürgens’ team Ponferradina lost in the same stage to Real Sociedad.
At the end of the first half, running out to catch a lobbed cross into the box, Hein fell painfully on his back in the 45th minute and tried to carry on at first, but had to be substituted. He was replaced by substitute goalkeeper Andre Ferreira.
When Hein left the field, the score was 2-2. Although Valladolid led the match twice, the game ended with a 3-2 defeat to third tier Ourense, who made their way to the round of 16. For the opponents’ 1-1 goal, Hein was partly to blame, who let in a near post shot from Jairo Noriega.
In addition to Hein, Valladolid also lost Stanko Juric and Raul Moro to injuries. As all substitutions had been made before Moro’s injury, Valladolid had to play with 10 men for the last 15 minutes.

In another Copa del Rey round of 32 fixture, Oliver Jürgens’ Ponferradina were defeated 0-2 by the La Liga side currently in 7th place, Real Sociedad.
Ponferradina kept the score even untill the 55th minute, when Spain’s European Championships hero Mikel Oyarzabal broke the deadlock. On the 69th minute, Brais Mendez doubled the Basque side’s lead. Jürgens watched the game from the bench. The 21-year old Estonian international has been riddled with injures this season, playing in five games and amassing 84 minutes this campaign.
Georgi Tunjov was also on the bench in Italy, as Pescara suffered their fourth loss in Serie C this season, losing to 4th place Torres 0-1 away. Getting only two points from the last four games, Pescara sit top of Serie C, but have the same amount of points as Ternana and Entella, who both have a game in hand.
