Real Madrid have sensationally been eliminated from the Copa del Rey on the away goals rule by third division Real Union.

The Liga giants were still 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 put the visitors back in front 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.
