He Mallorca took an important step this Thursday in the objective of putting ground between the drop zone by defeating Osasuna 3-2 with goals from Matija Nastasic in the first part and Dani Rodriguez y Antonio Railloon the resumption.
The third victory of the season, second consecutive at home after beating Sevillacalms the spirits within the Balearic entity and gives a break to Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, who saw how his players overcame Pablo Ibáñez’s initial goal.
Osasuna had added eight points in ten games away from El Sadar, but could not find the formula to repeat in Palma its last victory as a visitor against Alavés on October 1.
The Balearic team It took six minutes to neutralize Pablo Ibáñez’s goal after a direct free kick taken by José Arnaiz, substitute for the injured Raúl García.
The mistake in goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic’s clearance, one of the few he has had this season, was solved by Serbian center back Matija Nastasic, who got ahead of the visiting defense after a corner taken by Dani Rodríguez to beat Sergio Herrera and tie the match.
Both Ibáñez and Nastasic made their debut as scorers this season for their respective teams.
Mallorca, with Sergi Darder on the bench (Manu Morlanes replaced him), and the Canadian Cyle Larin at the top was superior to Osasuna in the first half.
Jaume Costa, Pablo Maffeo and Antonio Sánchez made it 2-1, but they didn’t get it right or they ran into an exceptional Ibáñez between the sticks, who stopped a header from Sánchez almost at the end of the first half.
Javier Aguirre He brought in Darder, one of the star signings of the season along with Larinto try to change the face of a midfield that was not working as expected.
He kept Maffeo and Jaume Costa, despite his physical problems, and insisted with Larin up front, a decision that the fans reproached him for by chanting the name of the Mallorcan Prats – “Abdón”, “Abdón” – in the 30th minute.
Osasuna, for its part, appeared in Palma with several new features in its lineup. Jagoba Arrasate appealed to rotations and Torró, Ibáñez, Arnáiz and Moncayola were part of the starting eleven.
Furthermore, José Arnaiz, who had not had much prominence until now, replaced the injured Rubén García in an attack that did not include the Spanish-Argentine Chimy Ávila.
The Osasunista coach decided to make two changes in the second half. Iker Muñoz and Oroz replaced Moi Gómez and Torró; Aguirre, on the other hand, kept the eleven.
The Navarrese team came out asleep after the restart and in less than ten minutes they conceded two goals, the work of Dani Rodríguez and Antonio Raillo.
The 3-1 score was a loss for the visitors and brought the spectators to their feet, encouraged by the scoring aspect that their team was showing, unusual this season.
Osasuna did not improve with the changes (Chimy Ávila and Raúl García also entered); The rojillos, today in light blue, never felt comfortable on the field of play and even They could have conceded some more goals in the final stretch with the public doing the wave and waving scarves in the team colors.
When everything seemed decided, Raúl García, who had replaced Ibáñez, scored Osasunista’s second goal in stoppage time and forced Mallorca to do their best to maintain their advantage in a hectic final few minutes, followed with much suffering by the local parish.
