The two teams chose a fast, tit-for-tat style of play right after the opening whistle. Real was the side that created more delicious situations, but the away team still lacked a bit of finesse to score. And at a time when his teammates were playing at a stalemate, Ronaldo once again proved his leadership role with a surprising opening goal.

Minute 21, from a free kick to the left,Ronaldounleashing a powerful shot, Osasuna goalkeeper Andres punched the ball away but after hitting the ground, the ball spun back into the goal. An incredible shot from CR7 and this goal is also a thank you to those who supported the Portuguese superstar in the race for the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or title.

In the following minutes, Osasuna, with nothing to lose, pressed forward to try to score a consolation goal. However, Real punished their opponents' impatience with a second goal. From a quick counter-attack, young talent Jese Rodriguez crossed for Di Maria to run in and finish past goalkeeper Andres in the 56th minute.

This should have been a complete game.Realif the storm of injuries and penalties had not caused them to struggle in the final minutes. Defender Fabio Coentrao had to leave the field after receiving a second yellow card in the 85th minute, while striker Alvaro Morata was injured, leaving Ancelotti's team with 9 men. Fortunately, Osasuna did not take advantage of this "golden moment" to create an earthquake.
