former Rayo Vallecano manager Beñat San José praised the club's Bukaneros supporters who helped rescue victims of a train crash near Urda while returning from a Copa del Rey match.

former Rayo Vallecano manager Beñat San José expressed pride in the actions of the club's Bukaneros supporter group, who assisted victims of a train accident in Urda, Toledo on Wednesday. Around 50 Rayo fans, mostly from Bukaneros, were returning from Huelva where the team played Recreativo in the Copa del Rey first round when their train stopped near the crash site. Upon learning of the disaster, which has claimed 69 lives so far, they left the train on foot to help those affected.

"As a manager I felt very proud," San José said at a press conference. "The entire Rayo family feels very proud. It moved me quite a bit. It's a gesture that defends values and we have to thank them for what they did. It says a lot about them."
