After two consecutive defeats, Osasuna returned to El Sadar to try to find victory again. In front of the king of the tie, Huesca, with six accumulated points, four less than the Navarrese, who faced the game knowing the importance of ending the bad streak and solving the difficulties to score a goal.
With both teams still settling in, the visitors were ahead. After a backlash, Sergio Herrera rejected a good cross from Rafa Mir and Sandro took advantage of the rejection of the red goalkeeper to put his team ahead. The minutes passed and the meeting did not have a clear dominator, although it was the Huesca who more prowled the rival goal and the Navarrese defense was not as sure as it should. Osasuna did not quite feel comfortable but little by little he was gaining meters. While the people of Huesca were creating problems, those of Arrasate, especially on the left wing. Rafa Mir he had a good chance to score the second for his team just minutes before the break. The Huesca he was solid defensively and correct on an offensive level, creating some dangerous play and deservedly the match came at half-time with a minimum advantage for the visitors.
Aware that things were not going well, Jagoba Arrasate moved the bench to start the second half. Torres and Juan Cruz left the field of play to make room for Enric Gallego and Moncayola. Iñigo Pérez went to the left side, forming Moncayola in the pivot with Oier and Rubén García went to the right wing. With the changes, Osasuna showed more dominance of the game and with more decision, making the Huesca defense suffer. Rubén García was about to achieve the tie with a good header. The rojillos were looking for the goal and had much more the ball. On the contrary, Huesca was overwhelmed by the pressure of those from Arrasate. The work paid off and in the 67th minute, David García scored with a header, after a corner kick, the tie at one. The Navarrese did not stop stalking the goal defended by the former rojillo Andres Fernandez. Despite the attempts, the Navarrese had to settle for a tie to one that, judging from the looks of it, might be the most fair thing to do.
