The man whose life was saved by an Osasuna goal Osasuna Commentary woke him up at the wheel

Fran Gago was driving home along an Andalusian road after playing a game of futsal when, without realising, he closed his eyes at the wheel.

Thankfully, he was woken up by the sound of the commentary on the radio after Kike Barja scored a goal for Osasuna against Cordoba in the Spanish second division.

When Gago woke up, his car had gone off the main road and was on the verge of falling off a cliff, so the goal and the excited commentary from 'Tiempo de Juego' saved his life.

"I, as I often do, put the radio on in the car and listened to 'Tiempo de Juego'," Gago told Jon Uriarte on 'Herrera on COPE', where he discussed the commentary of Alberto Sanz and the way in which it saved his life.

"Osasuna vs Cordoba was playing and then the car went off the main road and I was asleep.

"Suddenly, I heard 'Goooooool!' and I woke up, seeing that I was off the road and on a precipice.

"I only had time to turn the wheel and strike the car against a tree."

Fortunately, the accident barely caused him any injury and he was able to get out of the vehicle on his own accord.

When Sanz discovered that his commentary had saved Gago's life, he was evidently touched.

"This has never happened to me in my life," said Sanz.

"It is a pleasure to commentate goals on 'Tiempo de Juego' and even more so if it saved a life."

The game took place on October 13, with Osasuna winning 3-1.
