The first half did not produce a flurry of scoring chances, with Atlético recording just one shot on target from a total of three attempts. The play developed mostly away from either penalty area, and there were several misplaced passes by midfielders on both sides.

As the break approached, Atlético took the lead through Antoine Griezmann, whose finish gave the visitors a slender advantage. Osasuna pressed higher after the interval, trying to disrupt Atlético’s rhythm, but the Colchoneros’ tight defensive lines limited space and prevented a clear breakthrough from the home team. Mojica’s left flank offered some attacking options for Osasuna but found limited success against Atlético’s compact shape.

36′ A powerful strike by Mojica sent Nahuel Molina scrambling, the ball striking the woodwork and staying out only by a fraction.

28′ Griezmann continues to be a key figure for Atlético. In 2023, the French forward tallied 24 La Liga goals in 29 appearances for the club, contributing significantly to the team’s attacking output with a combination of goals and assists that accounted for a large share of their scoring during that period.

ANTICIPATION FOR LUIS ARAGONÉS! Griezmann remains central to Atlético’s plans, aiming to extend his status as the club’s all-time top scorer. The 0-1 win at El Sadar against Osasuna serves as a reminder of his ongoing importance to the squad.
