Following today's result, Villarreal and Osasuna currently occupy 7th and 13th spots in the table, with 46 points and 34 points respectively after 30 matches.

However, their lead was short-lived, as an equalizer from David Garcia in the 70th minute, brought Villarreal level. In the end though, Osasuna, 74 minutes in took the victory following a Ante Budimir goal and seeing the game end 2-1.
For Villarreal, Gerard Moreno, Alfonso Pedraza, Samuel Chukwueze, Manu Trigueros and Fer Nino, came on for Javier Martinez Calvo, Juan Cruz, Ante Budimir, Enrique Barja and Ruben Garcia.
