Image
Athletic Club had to settle for a point against a very defensive CA Osasuna. The goalless draw means Athletic are no closer to third-placed Atletico, but keeps them firmly in fourth place, six points clear of Villarreal CF, who they visit next Sunday. Author - Peter Grainger The Rojillos' three-centre-back system made life difficult for the Lions, who were also hampered by goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez who made several fine saves. Osasuna barely threatened, only having a couple of chances between their attacking players. They would have almost certainly taken a point before the match.  The rest of the attacking play was done by Ernesto Valverde's men. Nico Williams went close when he collected a long ball from Unai Núñez before Aitor Fernández turned his low drive behind for a corner. This was proving to be a frustrating afternoon.
