The Rojillo team qualified for the second cup final in its history

CA Osasuna is the first Copa del Rey finalist after a draw at the San Mamés Stadium against Athletic Club, thanks to Pablo Ibáñez’s 116th-minute stoppage-time goal, which equalized Iñaki Williams’ first-half strike to confirm the result. Score 1-0 for El Sadar.

The rojillo team reached the second cup final in their history, after losing in 2005 to Betis, after the second round of the semi-finals where their opponent was superior and had the best chances, especially with Nic Williams.

Ernesto Valverde’s team took the lead on the scoreboard in the 33rd minute through Iñaki Williams, and despite the pressure from the stands, Jagoba Arrasate’s players held on and reached extra time. When the penalties seemed to be acting as referees, Pablo Ibáñez made a great hook from outside the penalty area to put it away from Julen Agirrezabala to give the rojillos the final goal.
