Osasuna beat Getafe 1-0 in LaLiga at Estadio El Sadar, with a penalty from A. Budimir on the stroke of half-time enough to decide the match. Getafe had a goal ruled out after the break and could not force an equalizer.

Match Summary

The first half stayed goalless until late. Osasuna were shown an early yellow card for J. Herrando. The hosts were then awarded a penalty, and A. Budimir converted in the 45th minute to send Osasuna into the interval in front.

Getafe's reply came soon after the restart. In the 52nd minute E. Unal had the ball in the net, yet the goal was ruled out and did not count. The visitors hunted a leveller from there. Cautions mounted on both sides in the second half. There were no red cards and no further goals. Osasuna held the 1-0 lead to the finish.

Key Moments

The penalty award in the 45th minute was the decisive swing. It produced the only goal and left Getafe with no time to respond before the break, so the visitors had to start the second half from behind.

The cancelled effort from E. Unal shortly after the interval was the other turning point. Had it stood, the score would have been level with plenty of time remaining. Instead Osasuna kept a one-goal cushion and could see out the contest from in front.

Even with more of the ball overall, Getafe's route back depended on that effort standing. Once it was wiped off, they never found another way through.

Match Statistics

Getafe finished with 55 percent possession to Osasuna's 45, 11 shots to 10, and three corners to one. The finishing picture was different. Osasuna put two attempts on target to Getafe's one and led 1.7 to 0.65 in expected goals, a gap that fits a penalty-led 1-0. Osasuna were shown five yellow cards and Getafe four. Neither side received a red card.

What the Result Means

Osasuna sit eighth in La Liga with four points from two matches and a goal difference of plus one, after one win and one draw. Getafe are 13th with three points from two matches and a goal difference of minus two, following one win and one loss. Only a point separates the two sides.
