Gonzalo Colsa's and Papakouly Diop's second-half goals gave Racing Santander a 2-1 victory over Osasuna in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Thursday.

Colsa's rocket of a shot from outside the area flew undisturbed into the left side of goal with screened goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez watching flat-footed in the 63rd minute.

Substitute Diop stepped up to the same spot to curl a right-footed shot inside the opposite post in the 84th.

But moments after saving Albert Camunas' point-blank header along the goal-line, goalkeeper Mario Fernandez couldn't reach Walter Pandiani's low curler in the 89th as Osasuna took a valuable away goal into next week's return leg.

Later, Atletico Madrid plays second-division club Celta Vigo.

The early chances favored the hosts at El Sardinero Stadium as Sergio Canales led the early rushes although his tight-angled shot flew into the side netting in the sixth minute.

Osasuna had fewer chances in the first half but better ones with strikers Jorge Galan and Dady both unable to convert from inside the area.

Pedro Munitis and Francisco Jimenez both came close before Colsa opened the scoring with his long-range shot.

The 18-year-old Canales was unable to make it three straight games with goals as he came off for Diop four minutes after the goal. Clubs from across Europe are vying for Canales' signature.

In Wednesday's first-leg games, Sevilla won 3-0 at Deportivo La Coruna and Getafe was a 2-1 winner at Mallorca.
