Unax del Cura on rapid rise in Mirandés survival push after 13 March debut | OneFootball

In a little over a month since his 13 March debut, Unax del Cura, 21, has injected fresh impetus into Mirandés’s fight to stay up. Three goals, one assist and two penalties won underline his impact.

As reported by as.com, the Biscayan introduced himself against Cádiz with flashes of quality, then scored his first professional goal a week later.

He has swiftly earned Antxón Muneta’s trust after stepping up from the B team. Team-mates commend his understanding, with Carlos Fernández offering guidance as Del Cura adapts to the division’s pace.

Family support has been central, notably from his parents and his brother Oier, a centre-back at Portugalete. They urge him to keep working, stay grounded and play with confidence.

Interest from Athletic followed, prompting Mirandés to extend his contract until 2028 last week. Del Cura told Alfredo Merino he felt remaining in Miranda close to home was best for his development, and he aims to give everything for the club.

Attention now turns to Cultural Leonesa after controversy at Abanca-Riazor on Monday, when Mirandés pressed for a red card for the Deportivo goalkeeper. Del Cura said the referee told them the keeper could challenge for the ball, and that they must park it and try to win on Sunday.
