“Mikel Jauregizar picked up the first of his two yellow cards in the 10th minute for a foul, a booking that would hang over Athletic Club for the entire match and ultimately cost them a man in stoppage time when he was dismissed after a second caution in the 90th minute.”
“Gorka Guruzeta broke the deadlock after Osasuna failed to clear a free-kick situation stemming from a Budimir foul. Nico Williams drove at the box and unleashed a left-footed shot from the left side that Sergio Herrera could only parry, and Guruzeta was sharpest to react, slamming the rebound into the left corner from the centre of the box. The goal — Athletic's only one of the night — proved to be enough.”
Pivotal“A frenetic final minute saw three yellow cards brandished in quick succession. Iñaki Williams was booked for a foul, then Moi Gómez of Osasuna received his first yellow — but most significantly, Mikel Jauregizar collected his second booking and was sent off, leaving Athletic to see out the final moments with ten men. The dismissal added late jeopardy to what had been a controlled, if narrow, home victory.”

Outstanding performance
Athletic Club•GoalkeeperAthletic Club secured a vital 1-0 victory over Osasuna at San Mamés on Tuesday night, grinding out a result that belied their minority share of the ball. Ernesto Valverde's side were content to sit deep and absorb pressure — Osasuna controlled 64% of possession and created two big chances they ultimately squandered — but it was Athletic who struck with clinical precision in the 16th minute. Gorka Guruzeta pounced on a rebound after Sergio Herrera had parried Nico Williams' left-footed effort, bundling the ball into the left corner from close range to settle what was an otherwise tight, nervy derby encounter. The dismissal of Mikel Jauregizar deep in stoppage time — his second yellow of the night — summed up a febrile atmosphere that never really calmed, with two further bookings in the final minutes underscoring the ill-tempered finish. For Athletic, who managed just seven shots to Osasuna's eight but showed the greater composure when it mattered, three points in a Basque derby carries extra weight as they push toward European contention. Osasuna, meanwhile, will rue those two big chances left unfulfilled — a wasteful evening that does little to ease their mid-table anxieties.
