The match featured a decisive first-half goal from Jonathan David, who opened the scoring in the 24th minute after a precise pass from Alexis Baena. David capitalized on a defensive error to slot the ball into the net, marking his second goal in La Liga following his debut against Real Sociedad. The goal came just 24 minutes into the game, putting immediate pressure on Osasuna, who struggled to respond in the first half. The visitors’ match featured their youngest starting XI in the league since January 2009, with an average age of 25 years and 202 days. This contrasted with the previous benchmark of 25 years and 128 days set during a 2009 match against Sevilla.
Atletico’s dominance continued in the second half, with Kang In Lee adding a second goal in the 54th minute. The forward converted a cross from David, slotting the ball into the far corner to extend the lead. Robin Le Normand then scored the third goal in the 63rd minute, exploiting a defensive mistake to fire the ball into the net. The rout was completed in the 82nd minute when Alexis Baena sealed the 4-0 victory with a well-timed strike following a cross from Johnny Cardoso. The win marked Atletico’s second victory, following a start that included a 2-0 win over Malaga, a 2-2 draw with Villarreal, a 3-1 win over Sevilla, a 3-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao, and a 3-0 victory over Real Sociedad.
Osasuna’s challenges were highlighted by a controversial disallowed goal in the 29th minute. Inigo Argibide appeared to score, but the goal was ruled out due to a foul involving Lucas Torro and Robin Le Normand, as reported by Marca. The decision left Osasuna frustrated, though the referee’s call stood as Atletico maintained their lead. Despite a late push, Osasuna failed to threaten the hosts.
