OSASUNA ACHIEVES ITS OBJECTIVE … AND LOOKS TOWARDS EUROPE
It seemed a utopia that the goal was achieved before its time, but Osasuna has more than achieved it. Despite some quite complicated sections of the season, the team, at the hands of Arrasate, has managed to find a stable and solvent course that allows it, with 40 points, to face the final section with optimism and even the illusion of allowing something bigger while they math permitting.
Valencia stumbled over the same stone again. The exit of the ball was a real nightmare for the Che team, who once again showed weak in defense. Calleri and Javi Martínez on two occasions punished the errors of Paulista first, and Diakhaby in the second goal. The only goal scored by Gameiro at the edge of the half-hour match was only a mirage, since Calleri himself scored the second for the rojillos after two minutes.
Neither Gameiro with his goal, nor the best Guedes nor an outstanding Jaume Domenech who prevented an (almost) scandal win stopped an Osasuna who, with the score in favor, played at will and let the course of the match take the rhythm that marked Arrasate's own set.
Osasuna achieves a capital victory that allows him to add three points to reach 40. With that score, he is now 13 behind the decline, nine from Europe and saved one more year in First. Valencia will have to suffer until the end of the season with a very complex calendar. Play against Sevilla and Barça, who play the League with Atlético and Real Madrid, in addition to facing four clubs from the lower zone: Getafe, Valladolid, Eibar and Huesca.
