Minute 40: Osasuna is effectively stifling Athletic, who find themselves unable to breakthrough.

Halftime at San Mamés

The first half saw Osasuna’s strategy dominate. Vicente Moreno’s squad began with a bang, landing a Torró header off the post. Athletic gradually gained ground, yet apart from a shot by Nico and another by Yuri, Aitor didn’t have much to do. Valverde’s team is struggling but still has substitutions available to shift the momentum.
