Valencia CF’s first-round match in the 2026/27 Copa del Rey against UE Tavernes de la Valldigna ended with a 0-6 win. Playing at Mestalla as the away team, Valencia CF secured the win with goals from Dani Raba, Hugo Duro, Luis Rioja, Harvey Elliott, and Aimar Blázquez (who scored twice).

Before the first minute had even elapsed, Javier Aguirre’s men took the lead following a brilliant team move involving Sato, Aimar Blázquez, and Raba; the latter made a run to the near post to finish a pass from the VCF Academy product.

In the 11th minute, Raba sent a lofted ball over toward Hugo Duro, who finished from inside the opposition penalty area to make it 0-2.

Shortly after, Filip Ugrinic nearly added a third with a powerful strike from outside the box, but goalkeeper Mainar stretched to tip the ball out for a corner.

From the resulting set-piece, Rioja took the score to 0-3 after Arnau Martínez flicked the ball on toward the back post.

Four minutes later, the fourth goal arrived courtesy of a free-kick from Elliott, who opened his account as a Valencia CF player.

A fifth goal was nearly added by Aimar Blázquez before the break, but Morenet cleared the ball off the goal line.

SECOND HALF

Three minutes into the second half, Aimar Blázquez came very close to extending the lead once again with a header from a great pass by Raba, but Mainar made the save.

In the 55th minute, Erik nearly scored a consolation goal for UE Tavernes with a shot from outside the penalty area that struck the right post.

From the very next move, Aimar Blázquez took the score to 0-5 following a pass from Rioja. The same duo combined again to make it 0-6.

Mainar prevented a seventh goal by pulling off a great save from Mayol.

Valencia CF enter into the draw for the next round later this month. Next for them is a trip to face Rayo Vallecano away from home on November 21^st, as part of Matchday 13 in LaLiga.
