Osasuna looked as if they had given Real Madrid a headstart they did not need after Vinicius Junior gave them the lead three minutes in, but just three minutes later, Osasuna levelled.
Defender Alejandro Catena was caught on the ball by Vinicius as the last man, and once he had possession, the Brazilian made no mistake, rolling the ball past Sergio Herrera.

Yet Osasuna responded well, keeping a corner alive at the far post, and their top scorer Ante Budimir continued his excellent form to bundle in the equaliser.

Vinicius would then go on to be thwarted by Sergio Herrera in another one-on-one, having beaten the offside trap, an excellent save. Los Blancos have been enjoying the open game, even if they don’t look entirely sure of themselves. Real Madrid know they can go 10 points clear at the top of the table with a win at El Sadar, as Girona play Getafe later.
