Osasuna added three new points in LaLiga EA Sports this Saturday by beating Valladolid 1-0 thanks to a Croatian Ante Budimir’s solitary penalty goal in the first half which places the Navarrese team in fourth place.
The locals came out with an electric game that dried up a completely knocked out Valladolid. Control and passing in the center of the field to not give the visitors any options. In the 19th minute the goal came after a VAR review. With two blocks from Valladolid, with a spectacular save by Hein in between, Budimir was brought down in the small area. The Croatian scored his sixth goal of the year, fiftieth with the red shirt in First Division, to dedicate it to those who died and were affected by DANA through a shirt collected on the bench with the phrase ‘Fuerza Valencia’. 9 shots to 1 in favor of Osasuna at 35 minutes. Absolute comfort to combine with great minutes of play against Valladolid with a single arrival. Pezzolano screamed on the sideline at the superiority.
With 1-0 at the end of the first 45 minutes with a visiting coach thoughtful on the bench about how to change the course of the event.
More of the same after passing through the locker room. Bryan, devilish, filtered a pass for Budimir, who feinted once and then made a low cross shot that hit the post.
Triple change for Valladolid to revolutionize the clash. Moncayola shot unsuccessfully to run into Hein, making it clear that Osasuna wanted more. Vicente Moreno, sanctioned in the box, chose to bring in Iker Muñoz to gain balance. Budimir, with a great spur maneuver, was able to score the second. The dominance continued to be local, but with signs of tiredness on the part of some players. Valladolid fought in the final minutes with the hope of finding the prize. Catena scored the equalizer in added time. The referee declared the end with a roar from the stadium that made clear the great moment that Vicente Moreno’s kids are going through, the complete opposite of those from Valladolid.
Deserved victory for Osasuna that It consolidates itself at the top of the table with 21 points.
Budimir dedicates his goal to Valencia and Vicente Moreno

As soon as he scored, his teammate Rubén Peña reminded him to go towards the sideline. There, a member of the coaching staff gave him a t-shirt that read ‘Fuerza Valencia’. Coach Vicente Moreno, a native of Massanassa, one of the most affected towns, thanked the gesture from one of the press boxes, the place from which the penalty clash continues.
