David Álvarez Aguirre (born 5 February 1984), commonly known as Kily, is an Equatoguinean footballer who currently plays for CD Cudillero in Spain, mainly as a right defender.
Early life
Kily was born in Avilés, Asturias, Spain to a Spanish mother and an Equatoguinean father, never knowing the latter.[1]
Club career
After finishing his formation with the club, Kily started playing with Real Oviedo, having the honour of scoring its first-ever goal in Tercera División.[1] He spent his entire career in the Spanish lower leagues, also representing UP Langreo (two spells),[2][3][4] Atlético Madrid B,[5] Orihuela CF, Novelda CF, Marino de Luanco[6] and SD Noja.
International career
Kily made his debut for Equatorial Guinea in 2007.[7] He was selected to the squad that appeared at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil,[8] where on 25 January he scored arguably the country's most important goal, netting in the 90th minute for a 2–1 group stage win against Senegal, which meant the hosts qualified to the quarterfinals at the expense of precisely their opponents.[9][10]
