La Liga red lantern before this meeting, Alavés moved on the lawn of Osasuna as part of the 31st day of La Liga. The Pamplona club was keen to keep its place at the top of the table. If the two formations seemed to leave with a goalless draw, Ante Budimir offered victory at the very end of the match to the Rojillos (1-0).
Taking advantage of a bad interpretation by Ximo Navarro in the box, Jagoba Arrasate’s men found the Croatian striker at the far post, who pushed the ball into Pacheco’s goal (90 + 3rd). With this victory, Osasuna remains 10th but is tied with Valencia (9th). The Basques remain dead last in the championship and could be dropped in the standings by Levante, who will host FC Barcelona this Sunday evening.
