Two early goals for Espanyol
Espanyol took the lead at Osasuna in the third minute when Roberto Fernández scored after a transition. Osasuna had headed chances soon afterward: Budimir sent his effort just over, and Raúl also headed wide. Neither chance brought Osasuna level. Roberto then scored again in the 17th minute after defensive hesitation, giving Espanyol a two-goal lead before the match was 20 minutes old.
Osasuna’s first-half reply is ruled out
Rubén García put the ball in the net for Osasuna, but the apparent reply was ruled out because the ball had gone out of play before Kike Barja crossed. Osasuna therefore remained two goals behind despite that finish. Iker Muñoz also had an effort before halftime, which Espanyol goalkeeper Dmitrović saved. Those incidents left Roberto’s two early goals as the only goals of the first half.
Second-half possession brings no goal
Osasuna had more possession after halftime, but its crosses did not find attackers. Late in the match, Dmitrović saved efforts from Osasuna substitutes Dubasin and Moro. Both players had chances to cut the deficit, yet neither effort changed the score. Espanyol added no further goal after Roberto’s 17th-minute strike, and Osasuna never scored. Roberto’s first-half double was enough for Espanyol to finish with a 2–0 win at Osasuna on September 12.
