Osasuna secured its passage to the second phase of the Copa del Rey with a 6‑0 win over Atlético Calatayud, a team from the preferred regional team that was celebrating its first important match in 31 years. The victory came at the San Íñigo de Calatayud Stadium, in Zaragoza, and was marked by the dominant performance of the rojillo, who showed their superiority from the first minute and left the locals without a response.
The match began with intense pressure from Osasuna, who managed to disallow a goal from the visitor due to offside before the rojillo team opened the scoring. At 13 minutes, Raúl García converted a header that gave the Arrasate team the lead. The striker continued his outstanding performance, scoring two more goals throughout the match, including another header in the 39th minute and the final goal of the day in the 59th minute. His hat-trick was the driving force behind the victory and gave Osasuna a comfortable lead that Atlético Calatayud could not reverse.
The second half showed no signs of change. Osasuna continued to press and extended the win with a penalty converted by Dubasin in the 52nd minute, his first goal of the game. Later, at 82 minutes, Asier Bonel, just 18 years old, marked his debut with a quality goal, closing the score at 6‑0. The young striker made an impressive play when he scored the ball before the goalkeeper came out, which allowed him to sign his dream debut with a decisive goal.
The meeting was also marked by a minute of silence before the start, in memory of the victims of the train accident that occurred on Wednesday in Urda, Toledo. The tribute showed the solidarity of football with the affected community. At a technical level, Osasuna had the presence of Sergio Herrera in goal, while Atlético Calatayud was led by Bielsa. The Osasuna players who scored were Raúl García, Kike Barja, Dubasin and Asier Bonel, while the only goal for the visitor was that of Raúl García.
With this victory, Osasuna advances to the second round of the Copa del Rey and consolidates its position as one of the strongest teams in the competition. The next challenge will be to face a higher-class rival, which will require the rojillos to maintain the level of play shown in this match. The squad, led by the technical direction of Xavi Solé, is preparing to continue its campaign in the cup with the same energy and determination that they showed against Atlético Calatayud.
