Real Madrid have sensationally been eliminated
from the Copa del Rey on the away goals rule to third-division Real
Union.
The La Liga giants remained favourites to progress to the
last 16 of the competition despite slipping to a surprise 3-2 away
defeat in the first leg.
Veteran forward Raul did all he could do on the night with a
hat-trick, but Eneko Romo's last-minute goal was enough to ensure a
4-3 defeat and 6-6 aggregate success on away goals for the
minnows.
Paul Abasolo had given the Basque club the initiative 14 minutes
in, although Raul equalised before half time after catching out
Edouard with a header.
Although Asier Salcedo gave the visitors their second lead on
the night shortly after the break Raul was again there to thwart
them just two minutes later.
Youth ace Alberto Bueno gave Real Madrid their first lead on the
night in the 68th minute and Raul's third looked to have secured
passage in the closing stages.
However, there was one final sting in the tail as Romo popped up
in the final seconds of the game to dump out the Spanish
giants.
