Osasuna capitalized on their bright start by taking the lead after 8 minutes. The home defence appealed for offside from a Masoud free kick as Walter Pandiani ran through to head into the corner.
Atletico got an immediate response from their players. The Rojiblancos were back on level terms through Diego Forlan in the 15th minute.
The visitors retook the lead and went into the break 2-1 ahead thanks to Krisztian Vadocz, who took advantage of the ball rebounding off Madrid's Tomas Uj***si.
Three minutes into the second half, Osasuna played above their lowly position by opening a two goal lead as Pandiani grabbed his second of the game.
The visitors killed of the game with a fourth goal. A long kick from goalkeeper Roberto was collected by 24 year old playmaker Masoud and the Iranian danced his way around the the Atletico defence before scoring.
