The real Valladolid and Osasuna drew level in a goalless encounter that could have swung either way. Although Jose Zorrilla did not tally in the end, the balance of chances suggested both sides deserved a goal.
The Valladolid faithful came out with courage, unleashing their best weapons from the opening whistle. A prime example was Sergio Leóns first-minute attempt after a bright recovery and a sharp strike toward the visiting goal, only for Aridane to intervene just as the shot was ready to sting the keeper.
The Navarrese outfit did not concede control easily and Chimy Ávila made his intention clear: if the ball reached his feet, danger would follow. Yet Masip remained vigilant, with the Blanquivioletas’ defense showing prudence against the threats posed by Chimy and Budimir.
Abde’s substitute was nearly troubled by Kike Barja who, leaving Luis Pérez behind, faced the home goal on his own. Yet Barja could not beat Pérez who rushed back to cut off the finishing touch and avert the danger.
From that moment, Machís pressed to anchor the left flank while the visiting side countered on the right, defended by Moncayola. The visitors accumulated chances, seeking a breakthrough that would quiet the growing momentum from Valladolid.
In a moment of note, Aitor Fernández prevented the opening goal by parrying a blazing shot with a clean interception. Moments later, he had to move quickly again to smother a weaker attempt and preserve the scoreless stalemate.
Plata produced good moves from the right wing but could not find the finishing touch, and Plano also failed to convert. Four minutes into the first half stoppage, Machís delivered another powerful strike that Aridane, positioned on the goal line, knocked away to keep the scoreboard untouched.
After the break, both teams returned ready to seize control. Machís and Chimy Ávila became the principal forces in the attack, with the Osasuna forward closest to breaking the deadlock after firing a shot from near the post that skimmed the woodwork.
Chimy Ávila drew another notable moment as the action continued to tilt between both camps. A clip from the match circulated showing his impact on the proceedings as he pressed for a decisive moment for his side.
The managers swapped personnel as the tactical rhythm shifted. Pacheta sent Rubén García into action, while Jagoba Arrasate called on Cyle Larin, a late arrival who had impressed the locals with his energy and willingness to get involved. He created an opportunity that could have tipped the balance in favor of Valladolid.
The game opened up into a frantic exchange, with both sides chasing the long-awaited winner in a contest that offered chances on both ends. Even Amallah, making his debut with the white-purple kit, joined the fray, seeking to influence the result with fresh impetus.
Darko’s boot provided a moment of promise as he faced Masip one-on-one. Yet he found the goalkeeper ready and upright, denying a decisive finish and enabling the draw to persist against a Valladolid side that had shown resilience and persistence throughout the match.
In the end, the score stayed level as both teams walked away with a point and a sense that more could have been achieved on another day. The contest stood as a testament to the competitive balance between two teams eager to claim three points and climb the table.
