Osasasuna secured a spectacular 2-1 win against Celta Vigo and Estadio Abanca-Balaído, with substitute Raúl García de Haro scoring a late winner.
Osasuna beat Celta Vigo 2-1 in a tense La Liga encounter on February 6, 2026. Substitute Raúl García de Haro struck with a 79th-minute goal to secure all three points for the visitors.
Celta de Vigo, 7th in the league, sought to consolidate their European aspirations at home. Meanwhile, 9th-placed Osasuna have tried to close the gap on their rivals and improve their position in mid-table. The match promised a reduced competition given its proximity to the league and slightly better form of Celta.
The first half started with Celta de Vigo controlling possession, dictating the pace of the game. Despite their dominance, they struggled to convert chances into clear-cut chances early on.
Osasuna made an early tactical change in the 31st minute, with Flavien Boyomo coming off the pitch for J. Herrando. This substitution seemed to inject new energy into the visiting team’s attack.
Just four minutes later, Osasuna broke the deadlock. Ante Budimir, assisted by Raúl Moro, scored in the 35th minute to give the visitors a surprise lead. Celta Vigo pushed for an equalizer before the break, but Osasuna’s defense held firm. Raúl García has received a yellow card for rough play in stoppage time of the first half.
At the break, Celta de Vigo needed to find a way to convert possession into goals. Osasuna looked to maintain their defensive shape and take advantage of counter-attacks.
In the second half, Celta de Vigo stepped up their efforts and their persistence paid off. Borja Iglesias converted a penalty in the 53rd minute, tying the home team. The tie fired up the Balaídos crowd and marked an exciting finish.
After the goal, Celta’s J. Rueda received a yellow card in the 56th minute for holding on. Both teams then began to make changes, with Celta Vigo introducing Óscar Mingueza and Williot Swedberg in the 67th minute, replacing J. Rueda and Hugo Álvarez respectively. Osasuna responded in the 70th minute by introducing Raúl García de Haro for Ante Budimir, while Asier Osambela also entered the fray.
The decisive moment came in the 79th minute. Substitute Raúl García de Haro, connecting with a pass from Alejandro Catena, fired Osasuna’s second goal. That late strike caught Celta Vigo off guard, who had been pressing for a winner.
Celta Vigo went all out in the closing stages, making several late substitutions, including Iago Aspas. However, Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera made three crucial saves to deny the home team any further goals. Víctor Rosier received a yellow card for fouling in stoppage time.
The statistics highlight the frustration of Celta Vigo; they boasted 57% possession and an xG of 2.16 on 18 total shots, but only scored once. In contrast, Osasuna proved to be clinical, scoring two goals on just 8 shots and an xG of 0.67. This efficiency sealed his victory.
This hard-fought victory sees Osasuna pick up valuable points, consolidating their position in the top half of the League table. Celta Vigo, despite their attacking efforts, have missed a chance to go higher, leaving them to reflect on missed chances at home.
