Zaragoza's imperious form continues

At. Osasuna and R. Zaragoza met in matchday 23 of Liga Adelante in one of the games postponed for snow. The visitors won 0-1 thanks to a Iñigo Ruiz de Gallareta strike towards the end of the first half.

The first half took a while to get going. The first attempt was by Borja Bastón, who latched onto a Pedro Sánchez pass, however the Navarran side's goalkeeper ensured the score lines remained level. Sisi started to create danger down the right, and his pass found Nino over the top, however Yassine Bounou kept his effort out. Just before the break came the visitor's goal. Pedro Sánchez, who was involved throughout, stole the ball from Raoul Loé before pulling the ball back for Ruiz de Galarreta to Fire home.

10 minutes after the break, Borja Bastón might have made it 0-2, however his chip flew over the bar. Osasuna made a number of changes and it was substitute Cedrick who set up Nino who went close on 69'. Toward the end, the Rojillo had the chance to level up, but luck was against Nikola Vujadinović.

The win is Zaragoza's fourth consecutive, and Ranko Popović's side now have 40 points, and have a six point advantage over Ponferradina in seventh. Osasuna, who lost their first game in six, are in 12th with 30 points, but a game in hand.
