Osasuna Cruise to 5-0 Win over Reserve Team in Preseason Debut
Osasuna dominated their reserve team, Osasuna Promesas, in the club’s first preseason match, winning 5-0. The match marked the debut of new coach Vicente Moreno and the only signing so far for the Navarrese club, Abel Bretones.
The match began at the Tajonar facilities with both teams disputing possession without creating any major opportunities. However, Osasuna gradually took control of the ball and created several dangerous occasions.
In the 19th minute, Osasuna scored the first goal of the match with a goal from Raul, who took advantage of a rebound after a shot by Moi Gómez. Ander Yoldi scored the second goal after a cross from Nacho Vidal, and later scored a double to make it 3-0 for Osasuna. Raul Garcia de Haro scored the fourth goal with a tight shot, and Unai Garcia scored the fifth goal with a good header from a corner.
In the second part of the match, Osasuna continued to dominate possession and attack the reserve team’s goal. Iker Benito had a chance to extend the lead with a great shot, and Ruben Garcia also came close with a direct free kick. However, two good interventions by Stamatakis prevented Osasuna from scoring more goals.
