Pedrosa's 90th-Minute Hammer Shatters Osasuna's Dream

Ortalama Futmetrix Puanı: 48/100. A six-pointer that slipped through fingers: Osasuna controlled the narrative but Elche's relentless intensity proved that possession without clinical finishing is merely a prelude to heartbreak.

Early Strike, Late Reckoning

Víctor Muñoz set the tone in the 10th minute, converting Catena's assist into an early advantage that seemed to anchor Osasuna's afternoon. With just 39% possession, the hosts had done what mattered most: scored first and held the line. It was a masterclass in economy—nine shots, clinical execution, one goal that counted.

Yet Elche's balance sheet told a different story. Víctor Chust marshaled a defense that refused to crack, while the visitors orchestrated 12 total shots with 85% pass accuracy. Iker Benito anchored Osasuna's midfield, but even his outstanding 8.0 rating couldn't bridge the gap between possession and purpose. Elche's dominance—61% of the ball—was suffocating, relentless, inevitable.

Then came the 90th minute. Adria Pedrosa, summoned from the bench in the 69th, delivered the cruelest blow: an equalizer that rewrote the entire narrative. Two lead changes, two teams that refused to lose, one point apiece. It's the story of La Liga's balance—where dominance doesn't guarantee destiny, and one moment erases 89 minutes of control.
