Osasuna and Athletic split points to start the year (1-1)

Osasuna and Athletic split the points (1-1) in the derbi played this Saturday in El Sadar on the 18th day of the EA Sports League. The red ones dominated in the first half, the red and white in the second, and the goals of Rubén García and Guruzeta decided the tie.

The Red Grains have started with a more aggressive game and have gradually approached the rival area, so the first clear occasion of the match has been theirs, whena pass above Paredes' head has been picked up by Budimir, but he has thrown the ball out, very deflected.

In another move, Victor Muñoz put a deep pass into the area for Moncayola to finishthe play, but Unai Simón was right to stop the shot.

In fact, the red-white goalkeeper has been one of the best on his team, preventing the ball from entering the net several times, while his colleagues have found no way to create danger.

After half an hour, Ruben Garcia tried his luck with a direct foul pitch and scoreda spectacular goal, surprising Unai Simon (1-0).

Athletic responded with a shot from Guruzeta to match the result, but Sergio Herrera was perfect to avoid the goal.

In the second half, Athletic took a step forward and took control of the attack. The red-whites had good opportunities, but the doorman in one and Catena in the other prevented them from scoring.

But in the end the "lions" attack has borne fruit. After several attempts, Guruzeta has picked up the ball on the edge of the area and glued to the right pole has matched the marker (1-1).

The last few minutes of the match have been very equal. Both teams have had their chances of goal, the clearest of the red ones in the discount, with a header, and Nico Serrano on the side of the Biscayan team.
