Real Sociedad midfielder Ruben Pardo relishing return leg

Real Sociedad midfielder Ruben Pardo is upbeat following his side's goalless draw with third-tier Real Oviedo in their first-leg last-32 clash of the Copa del Rey.

The Spaniard said that the Estadio Carlos Tartiere was a tough stadium to visit and admitted that he is relishing the return leg at the Anoeta Stadium.

"We knew we were playing at a very tough stadium against a team who are fighting for promotion to the second division," Eurosport quotes him as saying.

"It's going to be a very nice match at the Anoeta and we are really looking forward to playing it."

The result means that Sociedad are still unbeaten under David Moyes, with the Scot having managed two draws and a win in all competitions so far.
