Club Atlético Osasuna added victory in a match in which emotions ran high due to the tragedy in Valencia and in which sports took a backseat. The red players gave their coach, a native of Massanassa, a victory that leaves them with 21 points. A goal by Budimir from the penalty spot tipped the balance for a squad that was better and deserved a greater difference on the scoreboard.
The match began with an Osasuna team that managed to take control of the game and soon began to generate danger in the Valladolid area with the attacks of Areso, R. Peña and Bryan on the wings. In this context, a technical detail by Aimar and a set of shots in the area ended in a penalty in favor of Osasuna after the action was reviewed in the VAR, which Budimir converted. The Croatian, along with his teammates, dedicated the goal to those affected by DANA. With the score at 1-0, Osasuna continued to control the match and had chances through Aimar’s boots and a shot from Budimir to extend the lead.
In the second half, the red team started again strongly and in the first moments they had a good chance from R. Peña, but his shot from the front was blocked by the defense. In the 54th minute, Budimir had a great chance when he received a ball in the area and made space to look for the shot, but the ball hit the post. Just three minutes later, Bryan tried with a cross shot that just missed the post. Between Bryan and Budimir they again generated two opportunities. First, when the winger gave way to the Croatian in the area, but his back-heel shot went wide, and then, with a cross that the Reds striker headed high. For its part, Real Valladolid had a good opportunity to tie in stoppage time with a shot from inside the area by Kike Pérez that Catena took practically over the goal line.
With this victory, Osasuna has 21 points after playing the first twelve days of LALIGA EA Sports, closing the day in fourth position and thus achieving the second highest scoring start in the history of the First Division. The rojillos’ next match will be on Tuesday, November 5, at 7 p.m., against Chiclana in the first round of the Copa del Rey.
