Muriqi's Brace Meets Boyomo's Desperation in Six-Pointer Thriller

Pflichttermin Futmetrix-Wertung: 85/100. Two teams fighting for survival delivered a must-watch display of intensity and balance—Mallorca nearly escaped relegation danger, only for Osasuna to drag themselves back from the brink in injury time.

The Striker Who Almost Settled It

Mallorca's Vedat Muriqi seized this six-pointer with both hands, firing a clinical brace in the 62nd and 66th minutes. The second—a composed finish set up by Jan Virgili—looked to have buried Osasuna's hopes. With a 9.3 rating, Muriqi's ruthlessness in the box was the defining factor in Mallorca's 52% possession spell. Seven shots, four on target—precision where it mattered.

Osasuna's Relentless Pressure Pays Off

But Osasuna refused to accept their fate. Unleashing 14 shots across the match and dominating the set-piece battle with 8 corners, they exercised constant intensity that Mallorca couldn't fully contain. Substitute Raúl García, introduced in the 71st minute, slashed the deficit in the 82nd. Then came the final twist: Flavien Boyomo's 90+3 equalizer—assisted by Lucas Torro and confirmed by VAR—dragged the visitors from the precipice. Two lead changes, one tied period, and a comeback that rewrote the narrative.

Salvage Mission in the Relegation Battle

For two clubs locked in the stakes of survival (Mallorca 16th, Osasuna 17th), this draw represents a lifeline. Mallorca's 13 points and Osasuna's 12 mean every point is oxygen. The 2-2 result showcases the balance between ambition and desperation—neither team could afford a loss, and neither would accept defeat. Osasuna's superior shot volume (14 vs. 7) masked a lower expected goals (1.09 xG), yet their late pressure proved decisive. This is what Upset Factor looks like: not a shock result, but a refusal to die.
