Real Madrid clashed heads with Osasuna at the Estadio de La Cartuja earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win in the Copa del Rey final. Los Blancos made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the second-minute courtesy of Rodrygo’s effort. Carlo Ancelotti’s men sat on their lead well and went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Lucas Torro equalised for Osasuna in the 58th minute. However, Rodrygo scored again for the Madrid giants just 12 minutes later which proved to be the match-winner. Real Madrid ended up winning the final by a narrow 2-1 scoreline.
