Osasuna takes victory in a fast-paced derby against Alavés (1-0)
Osasuna took the three points in the derby on matchday 27 of LaLiga EA Sports that faced Alavés in El Sadar. In a vibrant, open match with chances, it was the rojillos who came out on top thanks to Ante Budimir’s goal in the second half.
The match began with dominance of the team Luis García Plaza, who has not been able to be on the bench albiazul due to suspension, since he was sent off in the match against Mallorca.
The first clear opportunity has been Benavidez in the 11th minute and David García was instrumental in putting his foot in and deflecting the Alava player’s shot. A minute later, Guridi’s header was saved by Sergio Herrera by putting his hand in to clear a ball that was going in.
Minutes of Alavés dominance with Osasuna uncomfortable on the field and a lot of inaccuracy in the pass.
The first approach by Jagoba Arrasate’s team to Sivera’s goal came in the 27th minute, with a shot from Torró that went wide. In the 28th minute the red team almost scored when a header from David García went just wide.
The Navarrese team has taken control of the match, cornering Alavés and putting them in their field. In the minutes before the break, both teams had chances to take the lead: a save by Sivera after a shot by Budimir and a shot against the post by Samu Omorodion.
The first half ended without goals but with two injured: Osasunista Kike Barja and Alavesista Abqar.
Luis Rioja chanced the restart, but Sivera was attentive to stop the albiazul player’s low, hard shot.
The winning goal
In ’76, after minutes of comings and goings, with raids in both areas, he has arrived goal by Ante Budimir. Beautiful goal that of the Osasuna player, who scored from the front with a great shot with his left foot. 14th goal for the red striker.
Fatigue has taken its toll in the final minutes and there have hardly been any more scoring chances. In the end, three points for Jagoba Arrasate’s team and Alavés, who are leaving empty-handed. The rojillos have gone four games without losing.
