Incidents: Match corresponding to the twenty-ninth round of LALIGA EASPORTS played at San Mamés

Club Atlético Osasuna earned a hard-fought point at San Mamés, one of the toughest venues in the category. The rojillo team, which had its chances especially in the early and late stages of the game, neutralized Athletic, who found a solid Aitor Fernández whenever they managed to create danger.

The Navarrese team started at San Mamés with an extra gear and in the early moments generated a series of corner kicks that led to the clearest chance of the game for the rojillos. Lucas Torró headed a good cross from Moncayola, but the post denied the goal. Gradually, the Vizcayan side pushed towards Osasuna’s half, where Vicente Moreno’s men put in a lot of work to prevent the home team from creating chances and threatened on counterattacks. Aitor Fernández made two crucial saves towards the end of the first half to deny shots from Williams Jr and Yuri.

After the break, the match followed the same pattern. Osasuna returned to the field at San Mamés with clear ideas and solid defensive play, which, combined with a great performance by Aitor Fernández, prevented the home team from taking the lead. In addition, Vicente Moreno’s side stepped up in the final stages, and Rubén Peña had a great opportunity that was saved by Unai Simón.

With this point, Club Atlético Osasuna reaches 34 points after 29 matches. The rojillos’ next game will be on Monday, April 7th, at 21:00 against Club Deportivo Leganés at Butarque.
