Osasuna uses a controversial penalty to win the first game of the League

Osasuna won (2-1) against Sevilla in the opening match of LaLiga Santander thanks to a penalty scored by Aimar Oroz in the 74th minute. Jagoba Arrasate felt encouraged by Sadar to take the initiative from the opening whistle.

Osasuna player Chimy Ávila scored the first goal of the championship ten minutes into the match by finishing off a cross from Rubén Peña. Sevilla reacted immediately and a minute later Rafa Mir scored the equalizing goal with which the break would be reached after a good triangulation by the Sevillian team.

Both teams did not give rise to any kind of truce. The locals improved their performance with the passing of the minutes. Moi Gómez drove the ball until he hit a shot with his left foot that ended up grazing the right post. Sevilla matched their rival in posts after Delaney's missed shot.

The revolutions dropped in both squads for a few minutes, but this was a mere mirage. The occasions were given quite regularly. A clear offside by Papu Gómez prevented Del Cerro Grande from being able to complete Sergio Herrera's subsequent penalty on the Argentine that the referee had to cancel.

The Madrid referee did not show any type of doubt in the penalty committed by Gómez on Moncayola for obstruction. Usual throwers like Chimy, Moi or Moncayola himself were left without placing the ball from eleven meters. Aimar Oroz was the chosen one. The 20-year-old did not shake his pulse and put his team ahead again.

Osasuna did not take his foot off the accelerator, but continued looking for the opposite goal to close the match. Pablo Ibáñez made his debut with the first team and Aimar Oroz was applauded at his debut as a starter.

The referee decreed the end in the 95th minute to give the Pamplona team the first victory of the season against a Sevilla team that was dominated by a rival that did not go through too much trouble.
