Alaves put on a real show at Mendizorroza on Sunday, 6 September 2026, brushing Osasuna aside 5-2 in a game that was already half won by the break. Two goals up at half-time, the home side kept their foot down after the restart and never let Osasuna settle. Osasuna did pull a couple back to make the scoreline look respectable, but by then the damage was done and the gap on the board told the real story of how the afternoon went. For Alaves, this was the kind of result that lifts a whole dressing room, a five-goal haul at home against La Liga opposition that will do wonders for confidence heading into the coming weeks. Osasuna, on the other hand, will need to have a hard look at how they conceded so freely, especially after going in two down at the interval. Conceding five at any ground stings, and they'll want to put this one behind them quickly.
The Matchup
Alaves beat Osasuna 5-2 at Mendizorroza, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Alaves also had the better share of the ball, holding 51% possession, which usually goes hand in hand with the extra control a winning side tends to show. The shot count told a similar story, with 12 attempts from Alaves against 7 from Osasuna over the course of the game. Osasuna had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
