“Ademola Lookman stepped up after a VAR review confirmed a handball by Javi Galán, driving his penalty into the left corner to open the scoring for Atlético Madrid.”
Pivotal“Alexander Sørloth, introduced at half-time, met a corner delivery with a powerful header into the top left corner to double Atlético's advantage and effectively end the contest.”
Pivotal“Kike Barja, ironically booked earlier for an argument, grabbed a late consolation for Osasuna to make it 1-2, though it came too late to threaten the result against ten-man Atlético.”
Osasuna
Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid arrived at El Sadar and executed a textbook Simeone away performance, absorbing Osasuna's considerable pressure before striking clinically on just five shots to secure a vital three points. The visitors needed a VAR-assisted penalty from Ademola Lookman inside the first quarter-hour to settle nerves, and despite losing Marcos Llorente to a second yellow card in the 79th minute, they extended their lead through Alexander Sørloth's powerful header eight minutes earlier — a goal that proved the killer blow. Osasuna were relentless in possession, registering 23 shots and 86 dangerous attacks to Atlético's paltry 26, yet their profligacy in front of goal — three big chances missed to Atlético's one — told the real story. Kike Barja's stoppage-time consolation gave the scoreline a more flattering look for the hosts, but for Atlético, who showed composure even through a chaotic card-filled second half that saw their own manager booked, this result keeps them firmly in the race for a Champions League place.
