Alavés blitzed Osasuna with clinical finishing from range, with Lucas Boyé and Mariano Díaz punishing Osasuna twice before the break despite even possession and passing numbers. Osasuna responded through Ante Budimir, who scored a header and converted a penalty to twice drag his side back within a goal, but Boyé's third and a stoppage-time header from Pablo Ibáñez sealed a five-goal haul that reflected Alavés's superior efficiency - 12 shots to Osasuna's 7, and four corners to just one. The result lifts Alavés out of trouble near the relegation zone and offers real momentum, while Osasuna's fighting spirit ultimately counted for little against a ruthless home attack. With the sides level on possession and passing but miles apart on the scoreboard, this was a lesson in clinical finishing over control.
How entertaining was this match?
Alavés and Osasuna arrive at Mendizorroza level on seven points and both unbeaten through three rounds, making this early-season derby a genuine statement match. With La Liga's chasing pack tightly bunched behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, a win here could push either side into the thick of the title conversation.
