The Osasuna’s initial intensity Looking for the rival goal, he was matched by Valverde’s men, who gradually went up. The youngest of the Williams shot inside the area with his right leg, but his shot went to the side of the net.

The tension was felt in the environment. Those from Pamplona, ​​with a victory, equaled the people from Bilbao in seventh position with 50 points, surpassing them by goal difference. Heads or tails, since the last train to Europe was at stake.

The rojiblancos showed off their quality to dominate the midfield as the minutes passed. Rubén Peña saved the 0-1 clearing a corner when the ball was going to cross the goal line after a somewhat jumbled play that Iñaki Williams finished as best he could.

It was time to endure the arreón and Osasuna put on the work overalls. Aitor Fernández waited well for the eldest of the Williams and deflected another chance with his right foot that would have been a jug of cold water one minute from the break.

There were 45 minutes left to go forward. Barja had the first one before Sadar exploded with Budimir’s goal. The Croatian rose to hunt the center of Moncayola. The header could not be stopped by an unsuccessful Agirrezabala in the intervention. Quickly, Valverde reacted and introduced Sancet and Guruzeta.

Abde executed a free kick with great mastery which Agirrezabala arrived at in extremis. Moncayola took the rejection to yield to Aimar. The bird held the ball on its back over the penalty area before putting Nougat scored the goal in a layup. He placed his shot at the opposite stick, which led to a new earthquake.

Things were getting very complicated for the lions. Haste are not good companions and Valverde’s men failed to display their best game in the final stretch.

With Muñiz Ruiz’s whistle, Osasuna smiled again at the expense of an Athletic that abandoned seventh place. The rojillos dream of Europe before visiting Getafe and hosting Girona.
