Osasuna finishes the season with a loss at El Sadar (0-2)
The rojillos end the league in tenth position with 47 points
Osasuna closed the season with a (0-2) defeat at El Sadar against Mallorca, in a match that meant Oier’s farewell as a rojillo player. The local team started out dominating the match and soon had dangerous approaches to open the scoring, but they didn’t get to involve M. Reina. After a half an hour Darko had a great chance. The rojillo pressed M. Reina and deflected his pass inside the box, but the ball ended up again in the keeper’s hand.
Just a few minutes later, Chimy Avila put a dangerous cross, but Rubén García didn’t finish it on the second post. Following these warnings from Osasuna, Mallorca reacted and forced Sergio Herrera into a great save with Salva Sevilla’s free kick. The final minutes of the first half were full under the red’s control and the best opportunities to make the 1-0 were in Budimir’s boots. First, he took advantage of a good combination between Rubén García, Torró and Darko, to make a tense low shot that went just wide. A minute later, the Croat turned sharply inside the box and finished but M. Reina deflected the ball.
As soon as the second half started, Ángel scored the 0-1 for Mallorca. Despite this, Osasuna tried again to take control of the game and look for Mallorca’s box. Budimir had another chance to finish off a flat center with his heel, but the ball came out brushing the post.
Farewell of Oier and the second of Mallorca
With the substitutions, where Oier left with a standing ovation in his last game at El Sadar, Osasuna took more control and in a connection between Kike Barja and Kike Garcia came a new approach, although the forward couldn’t finish and the keeper got the ball. However, Mallorca extended the lead with a goal from Grenier, after a big stop from Sergio Herrera to Abdon’s header.
Despite the 0-2, Osasuna tried to cut the distance and Kike García had a chance after a good cross from Íñigo Pérez but the ball went wide. Also, already in the extra time, Kike Barja headed a ball that also went out.
With this match, which also meant the last match for Íñigo Pérez and Ramalho as rojillos, Osasuna’s season ends. The club from Navarra finished in tenth position in LaLiga Santander with 47 points.
