Sevilla tried until the end, superior to a tough and orderly Osasuna. Lukébakio had it in the 95th minute, but Herrera blocked the way for the Belgian international winger to score, who had scored a beautifully crafted goal to equal the eternal Budimir's goal. On points, Sevilla deserved to win, with a commendable final push thanks to the talent of Saúl and the eternal Navas, who sent two wonderful centers to the Osasuna area. The Navarrese team endured, well directed by Vicente Moreno. He made excellent use of Budimir's goal, although he could not prevent Lukébakio's work of art in the tie. The point satisfies Osasuna more because Sevilla offered an acceptable version, the best of the season,

Young and talented, the two Andalusians, Isaac Romero and Bryan Zaragoza were the two football islands in a tight match, with a marked tactical profile. It didn't matter that Isaac still hadn't scored after 26 shots on target. The striker who shoots the most in the five major leagues without scoring knows how to play football very well. He is one of those forwards who has a magnificent vision of the game where it is more difficult to find spaces. His pass in the 24th minute to Sow, who narrowly missed the mark, was a clear example.
Bryan Zaragoza is a footballer who no longer exists. A devil with the ball who lives off dribbling and continuous challenges to his marker. Carmona suffered it and it was stopped by Álvaro, the Sevilla goalkeeper, who cleverly cleared the winger's great shot in the 17th minute.
They missed the Navarrese's turnovers on the way out, saved by an accurate intervention by Herrera on the stroke of half-time. The combination between Carmona and Gudelj was very good, as was the Serbian's shot, frustrated by the goalkeeper.
Osasuna took a step forward in the second half. However, it was Sevilla that insisted the most on attack. Lukébakio, a nuisance for Cruz, warned on a couple of occasions, one of them resolved by Herrera. When Sevilla was at its best, Areso made a wonderful cross from the right wing. Budimir scored with a header, the ninth goal of the season. Osasuna did not take advantage of their lead on the scoreboard because Saúl showed why he has signed for Sevilla. His long ball was perfect against the lethal movement of Lukébakio, who avoided the offside and Cruz with amazing oriented control. It was enough for him to dribble past Hererra and score into an empty goal. A great goal. With Navas and Saúl as leaders, Sevilla pushed in the final stretch and deserved to make it 2-1. Lukébakio had it after a great pass from Agoumé. Herrera saved his team.
“Sevilla is a great team, with a great atmosphere, it is not easy to stay upright. The three points gave us a lot, but we have to value the draw. We have missed things, I think the team can do more, but it is not easy. We had to maintain more security with the ball and the key has been not to stay with the score at 0-1 for longer. It is not easy to defend Lukébakio,” said Vicente Moreno, the Osasuna coach. “Sevilla has a very good coach and a spectacular atmosphere. It was a challenge for us, it is a very physical team. We have been good in defense,” he concluded.
“I don't know much about the point. Our match was very good against an opponent that defended itself well. We recovered after their goal and this is the way of Sevilla. Communion with the stands and intensity,” said García Pimienta, the Sevilla coach. “We had one last one at the end. We have conceded very little to Osasuna. We have tied him up, with personality, playing the ball, but we have lacked some effectiveness,” he added. “Lukébakio is differential. He has a high level,” concluded the coach of the Andalusian team.
