A player from fourth division Barbastro lost and won on Saturday.
After losing 4-0 to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, Israel García got down on one knee on the field and asked his girlfriend Pilar to marry him.
She looked surprised and covered her face with her hands as she smiled, then said: “Yes,” to applause from onlookers behind the couple.
They later posed for photos, with Pilar showing her hand with the ring that García gave her.
“It was the appropriate day,” García told Spanish media.
The midfielder played the entire round of 32 match against Barcelona.

Defender Eric García put Barça ahead with a header in the 21st minute before Lewandowski headed in from close range 10 minutes later.
The Polish striker added a third goal two minutes into the second half with a simple low shot from near the penalty spot and Pablo Torre made it 4-0 after taking advantage of a mistake by Barbastro goalkeeper Arnau Fábrega.
“We had to start the year like this,” coach Hansi Flick said at a press conference. 'We were very good in defense. We didn't give our rivals any chance.'
With this victory, Flick reached the 100th victory of his coaching career, while Barcelona's emergency signing, Wojciech Szczesny, made his debut in goal for the club.
Former Polish goalkeeper Szczesny came out of retirement when he joined the LaLiga giants in October to replace the injured Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, but had to wait to make his debut as his rival between the posts Iñaki Peña maintained good form.
Barcelona took the lead when defender Ronald Araujo headed a long pass into the box from Frenkie De Jong for Garcia to score in the bottom corner.
Araujo was making his season debut after suffering a hamstring injury in July during the Copa América.
“Ronald was injured but today we saw that he is fine,” Flick said. 'We have to be careful with him, but he played well during the 90 minutes. He's a leader, a captain. It's good to have him.'

The blaugranas secured their place in the next round thanks to Robert Lewandowski's double
The hosts thwarted many of the visitors' attempts, but Lewandowski, LaLiga's top scorer with 16 goals, doubled the lead after the ball deflected off a defender.
The 36-year-old added another goal after the break as Barcelona continued to dominate possession, with around 80% throughout the match.
Torre sealed the victory in the 56th minute, calmly scoring after home goalkeeper Fábrega failed to find one of his defenders with a low pass that ended up at the feet of the Barça midfielder.
