OSASUNA-GRANADA | Budimir and Moncayola come to the rescue of Osasuna

At 14 it would be the final for the rojillos, with two goals from Budimir in the first half, accurate in the area, while Granada Wishing to settle in the noble zone, he suffered with the lateral centers and did not hit the chances of Luis Suárez and the centers of the electric Kenedy. In the second he cut through the Colombian striker, but after a couple of controversial plays, with two unpunged penalties, Moncayola sealed the agonizing victory (3-1) after three months without winning, despite deserving it with up to five draws.

Since October 14 in San Mamés, Osasuna had not won, with Manu Sánchez in the position of three and Arrasate putting people in refreshment, leaving Calleri and Rubén García in garages. This time Osasuna, finally, was effective and responded to the trust placed in him by the sports director and the president of the Navarrese club. Diego Martínez, without Herrera, had to rebuild his decimated spinal cord, with Vallejo ahead of the defense, and he was thick for many minutes. It was difficult for him to get into the game and he lacked fuel to score a point.

Jony warned with a first shot that Rui Silva stopped after a pass from Budimir, who almost scored in the 7th minute on a centered ball that he failed to pocket after winning the back of the Granada centrals. Quite an omen. Two teams proposed high pressure, recovery and long balls to take advantage of the balls near the goal, with little elaboration. Kenedy was Granada's best stiletto, who with quality at the far right, belted off two opponents to center Luis Súarez who finished off his head off the track. Osasuna's first goal came with a center from Jony for speed that he crossed and Budimir, taking advantage of a defensive indecision, sneaked the goal before half an hour. Barely eleven minutes later, again the Balánico forward riveted a Barja center on the goal, breaking the back of the centrals. Jony was injured just before half-time touching his right adductor, and Rubén García had to enter urgently.

In the second act, both technicians started with two changes, Calleri surprised by the goalscorer Budirmir in the red box, while Diego Martínez decided to change the system with Jorge Molina for Vallejo and place two men in point. Immediately, Luis Suárez closed the gap with a loose ball bounced by Unai García that the Colombian, in his fifth goal in the League, managed to beat Herrera, in an action similar to Germán's rebound on one of Budimir's goals. He put the Nasrid team in the game. The controversy once again splashed Osasuna with the referees. The rojillo team claimed a hand from Quini from Estrada in the area, in the 70th minute, with the defender claiming that the leather had hit him in the face, but also in the joint. Granada also complained of a fault in the just previous action by Calleri, who saw yellow to the despair of Arrasate, who was putting his hands to his head. This previous play annulled the more than possible penalty that Osasuna was not charged more than needed. Next, another penalty was not awarded to Luis Suárez in the other area, which the VAR did not even review. With all this the game suffered, thickened even more. But Moncayola, to transfer of head of Rubén García in the frontal, he let go of a lash already in minute 87 to seal the stake and get the Navarrese set out of the basement.
