Osasuna overturned an early deficit to beat Celta Vigo 2-1 in LaLiga, scoring twice after M. Alonso was sent off. A. Budimir converted the penalty that put the visitors in front at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.

Match Summary

Celta Vigo led through I. Aspas after 14 minutes, M. Roman supplying the assist, and took that advantage into half-time. Osasuna's J. Moncayola was booked in a first half that otherwise stayed quiet on the scoreboard.

The second half opened with trouble for the hosts. M. Alonso was shown a yellow card, then a red three minutes later, and Celta Vigo were down to ten. Osasuna levelled when K. Barja scored in the 54th minute, assisted by R. Garcia. A. Budimir then scored from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute. The home side could not respond, and Osasuna saw out the 1-2 result.

Key Moments

M. Alonso's sending-off was the hinge of the night. Celta Vigo had a lead and a full team. Once they lost a player so early in the second half, the visitors had the numbers and the momentum to force the equalizer.

The penalty from A. Budimir mattered because it turned a comeback into a winning position. Celta Vigo never looked likely to draw level after that, and Osasuna were able to protect the lead rather than chase the game.

Match Statistics

The ball was shared 50 percent each way, but the chance count was lopsided. Osasuna attempted 12 shots to Celta Vigo's two and landed four on target against two. Expected goals ran 2.17 to 0.09 in the visitors' favour. Celta Vigo still took five corners to three, yet created little from them. Osasuna finished with a yellow card. Celta Vigo finished with a red.

What the Result Means

Celta Vigo sit 12th in La Liga with one point from one match and a goal difference of zero. Osasuna are 11th on the same points total from one game, also with a goal difference of zero. The sides are not separated on points, and each has a draw from their last match.
