Euskaraz irakurri: Osasunak lehen porrota jasan du Betisen aurka (1-0)

A great goal from Borja Iglesias at 34 minutes earned the Betis to take the victory (1-0) and sign the Osasuna’s first defeat in this season, which came with two wins and stood up in search of something positive, but did not know how to take advantage of the fact that he played from the 73rd minute with one more due to the expulsion of Argentine central Germán Pezzella.

Osasuna grew as the minutes went by, although they did not take advantage of their options and the rival did so to go into the break with an advantage. In the second half, the Navarrese also did not find the equalizer due to the numerical inferiority of the opponent.

The Navarre team, which achieved its two wins at the El Sadar stadium, against Seville (2-1) and Cadiz (2-0), made his debut as a visitor at the Benito Villamarín, where another Andalusian team awaited him.

Jagoba Arrasateaware of the impetus that the Verdiblanco team puts in search of the rival area, he took cover with many men in front of Sergio Herrera with the idea of ​​finding solutions when the ball was in his possession and so his most advanced man tried to do so after eight minutes, Argentine Chimy Avila.

But it was the local team that carried the weight of the match and possession of the ball with a team that pressed high and prevented the rival from thinking too much about their offensive missions.

Osasuna enjoyed a double and clear opportunity to get ahead on the scoreboard, with a shot to the strain of a stick by Moi Gómez and Rubén Peña refused to shoot it so that the Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Silva cleared it.

The local response was immediate, when striker Borja Iglesias took a tremendous whiplash from the edge of the area in the 34th minute to score the only goal of the match.

Arrasate put in two points, the Croatian Ante Budimir and Kike García, to give more power to his attack. In addition, he found himself expelled with a direct red card from the Argentine central defender, Germán Pezzella, for a stomp on Manu Sánchez.

The visitors went with everything in search of a tie, but always without ideas against a rival who redoubled their efforts.
