Espanyol left El Sadar with all three points after a comfortable 0-2 win over Osasuna on Saturday, 12 September 2026. The visitors did their damage early, going into the break already two goals to the good, and never looked like letting that cushion slip. Osasuna huffed and puffed after the interval but couldn't find a way back into it, and the home crowd grew increasingly restless as the second half wore on without any sign of a response. For Osasuna, this is the kind of result that stings more at home than on the road, and they'll need to regroup quickly before their next outing. Espanyol, meanwhile, will take plenty of confidence from a job done efficiently away from home, with the game more or less settled by half-time. A fast start proved decisive, and there's little to suggest this was ever truly in doubt once the early goals went in.
The Matchup
Osasuna 0-2 Espanyol was the final score at El Sadar, in a game where Espanyol did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 61% in favour of Osasuna, Espanyol made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 11 attempts from Osasuna against 6 from Espanyol over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Espanyol, and Osasuna pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
