Osasuna kept up their strong start to the 2022/23 La Liga season with a 2-1 win at home to Rayo Vallecano.

Jagoba Arrasate’s side end the weekend as fifth in the table with three crucial points in Pamplona thanks to a late winner on home soil.

The hosts missed a massive chance to take the lead early on, in a poor first half, as Moi Gomez wasted a clear cut one-on-one opportunity.

However, they stepped up a gear after the restart, as Aimar Oroz burst into the box to tap the home side in front from close range.

Rayo looked set to disrupt that positivity, as Florian Lejeune’s deflected leveller hauled them back into the contest, before Osasuna had the last word, with Ruben Garcia prodding home in the final minute.

Big celebrations at El Sadar!
