Osasuna and Mallorca played out an entertaining 2-2 draw, with Vedat Muriqi's brace giving the away side the lead only for Kike Barja and Ante Budimir to strike late for the home team.
While Mallorca took the lead through Muriqi's two goals, Osasuna should have won this match. The hosts had 22 total shots to Mallorca's 8, with a 50% advantage in shots on target (5 vs 4). Osasuna also generated an xG of 2.56, over double Mallorca's 1.08. This shows the sheer volume and quality of the chances Osasuna created, only to be thwarted by Mallorca goalkeeper Sergio Rico's 4 saves.
Tactically, Osasuna's aggressive counter-pressing was a key reason they were able to dominate the game. They won 50% of the possession and forced Mallorca into making 418 passes, 70 more than Osasuna. This high-intensity approach allowed Osasuna to win the ball in dangerous areas and sustain pressure on the opposition.
However, Osasuna's downfall was their defensive naivety, particularly in the second half. Mallorca's substitutions of Pablo Maffeo and Mateusz Morlanes gave them more control in midfield, and their clinical finishing from Muriqi exposed Osasuna's vulnerable backline. The two red cards for Raúl García de Haro and Victor Muñoz also didn't help Osasuna's cause in the latter stages.
Osasuna drew with Mallorca 2–2 at the stadium in La Liga Regular Season - 27. V. Muriqi (35'), V. Muriqi (61'), K. Barja (89'), A. Budimir (90') scored.
