After 120 minutes of agonizing battle in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Osasuna had an uncontrollable party on the lawn of San Mamés.

As soon as Del Cerro Grande decreed the end of the match, the red and white players, dressed in white for the occasion, jumped uncontrollably onto the pitch of the Bilbao temple. The joy of Osasuna was contrasted with the disappointment of an Athletic that fought until the last breath and even took the duel to extra time. The new San Mames, with the best attendance in its history (51,544 fans), was mute, but also recognized the merit of the Navarrese.
The Osasuna players experienced, from that moment on, some unforgettable moments. There were shouts, hugs and celebrations. Overflowing happiness for a priceless achievement. After the 1-0 draw in the first leg, the match took them directly to La Cartuja, the venue for the Copa final on May 6. That will be another great party for the Reds.
