There was great expectation around a Third Federation duel that pitted Portugalete and Cultural de Durango in La Florida. The reason could well have been that the Jarrillero team had the leadership of the Basque group at stake. However, there was an incentive beyond the classification. Ander Capa, with 230 games in the First Division and who until June of this year was a Second Division player, made his debut for his town’s team.
At 32 years old, the winger who completed five seasons at Athletic, has finally decided to drop three categories and join the ranks of the Portuguese squad, where he had been training for seven weeks, in search of attractive offers in the silver category. Tired of waiting and attracted by the atmosphere and the level of training, he decided to sign for Portugalete this Monday. Iván Franco, the team’s coach, did not hesitate to count on his starting services as soon as he could.
Capa started against Cultural de Durango this Saturday. He played as a right back and completed a total of 82 minutes, showing off the good physique that has always made him stand out. Of course, the Portuguese footballer contributed to his team’s victory, which elevates them to the leadership, waiting for the current day to conclude. The jarrilleros beat the durangarras 2-0, with goals from Aimar Barrera and Gorka Crespo. A good start for the full-back in this new direction that he has decided to take in his hometown team.
