Osasuna Stun Celta Vigo With Away Victory

Iker Aspas gave Celta Vigo an early advantage in the 14th minute, putting the home side ahead at the Estadio Balaídos. But Osasuna responded with composure after the interval, first through Kike Barja's leveller in the 54th minute and then taking the lead via Ante Budimir's penalty kick ten minutes later.

The decisive moment came in the 51st minute when Celta Vigo's Manu Alonso was sent off, leaving the hosts a man down for nearly the entire second half. Playing with a numerical advantage for most of the closing stages, Osasuna controlled proceedings and secured the points when Budimir struck again in the 90th minute to seal a Celta Vigo 1-2 Osasuna defeat.

Osasuna's away victory showcased their ability to capitalise on adversity. The visitors departed Galicia with three points after a measured performance that proved far more effective than their hosts' attacking ambitions once Alonso's red card shifted the balance of the match.
