But history says that Osasuna is not good at Vallecas. He has played 21 times between the First, Second and Cup, reaping fifteen losses, three draws and three wins (one in the First Division in the 2001-2002 season). But rayistas and osasunistas have disputed several historical parties or for the memory. Either for the rayista fans or because something ‘extraordinary’ happened that is still remembered.

In the 59th minute a blackout left the stadium without light (in Vallecas there was light from the streetlights). The members of Osasuna, according to the Diario de NavarraThey didn’t understand what was happening. What I don’t understand is how there is no generator set in the field for a situation like this. This would not have happened in El Sadar, although we must recognize that not all camps are prepared like ours for a situation like the one that has occurred here,” said the president. Fermin Ezcurra.
“This is for the diary joke. I can’t believe the blackout was accidental and now, when we are all dressed, the light has returned”, the goalkeeper came to say Robert Santamaria (whose nephew later played for Rayo).
Finally the match was resumed in Vallecas 49 days later and the score did not move. They were one of the six victories that Rayo achieved on his return to First Division.

The game was won by Rayo in a game marked by the referee’s performance. Osasuna complained about the expulsion of Spasic in minute 35 by referee Pérez Sánchez. Of course, with 1-0 on the scoreboard since the ‘Olympic’ Miguel Hernandez had put Rayo ahead in the 18th minute. The team Jose Antonio Camacho He would take the victory by the minimum in a neutral field full of Rayistas who traveled en masse to Getafe to see their team.

It was the second league day (after falling in the premiere in Mallorca) and the debut on the bench in Vallecas of the new coach Manuel Martín. It couldn’t have been better. three goals from Felines, Grandson, Illán, Aráez and Benito they certified a great victory that made Rayismo excited. But this great start would later fade away. The team would fight not to be relegated from the division and changing coach on matchday 17.
Although if there is a goleada that is remembered it is the 6-0 after the ascent of the summer of 2011. The Ray of Sandoval He was having a great season. Los Michu, Diego Costa, Movilla, Armenteros and company were close to salvation with six days to go.
