According to Mundo Deportivo, due to a major railway accident in Toledo, the Spanish Football Federation suspended all Copa del Rey matches scheduled for that day. The match between Numancia and Real Oviedo was rescheduled for Friday at 1:00 PM CET, and many Real Oviedo away fans who had already arrived in Soria chose to stay and continue supporting the team.
The match was originally scheduled to kick off on Wednesday evening at 8 PM, and many Real Oviedo fans had already traveled to Soria. After the accident and subsequent postponement, many fans faced difficulties finding accommodation, but no one chose to return home. Despite the long wait, the fans' enthusiasm did not wane.
On Thursday morning, a large number of Real Oviedo fans dressed in blue jerseys gathered in Plaza de los Herradores in the center of Soria. Songs filled the air as the square transformed into a sea of blue. Juan Rubio, a well-known away fan, was also present and firmly believed the team would secure a victory. "The spirit of Real Oviedo fans is always there. All of us traveled a long way to support the team; we are like one big family."
After lunch, the blue throng walked to Los Pajaritos Stadium to witness the team's first Copa del Rey match of the season. Football had temporarily given way to mourning, but the away fans continued to express their love for the team through their actions.
