Osasuna remains immersed in his crisis of results and has been left out of the Copa del Rey after losing to Girona, in an excellent moment of form, 1-0.
The Pamplona set linked the third defeat in a row, while Girona, consolidated in play-off positions for promotion to First Division, celebrated a prestigious victory, the fifth in a row in Montilivi, and confirmed its good dynamics: six wins in the last seven games.
At minute 6 Santi Bueno assisted Juncà with a great pass to his back from behind rival and the ’17’ surpassed Juan Pérez with a cross shot.
Osasuna tried to match the match with more pride than success. And, in fact, he only disturbed Juan Carlos Martín in the last action of the first half, with a shot from Chimy Ávila neutralized between the local goalkeeper and his right post.
The meeting followed the same script after halftime. Visitors approached the local area with a couple of shots from Roberto Torres, but Girona seemed to have the situation under control and seemed closer to 2-0 than draw. In the 58th minute, Nahuel Bustos once again made Montilivi despair when he missed a measured pass from Álex Baena that left him alone in front of the goal.
Osasuna redoubled its bet for the tie with the entrance of Kike García and Ante Budimir, who touched the equalizer with two shots, but Montilivi’s men, in an exercise of trade and solvency, certified a new victory that will allow them to be in the draw for the knockout stages of the Copa del Rey.
