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 youth career 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] SD Noja, CD Cudillero and L'Entregu CF.

In 2018, Kily helped La Madalena de Morcín CF to their first promotion ever to the fourth level. [7]

International career

Kily made his debut for Equatorial Guinea in 2007. [8] He was selected in the squad that appeared at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil, [9] 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 quarter-finals at the expense of their opponents.
