Meanwhile, 9th-placed Osasuna sought to close the gap on their rivals and improve their mid-table standing.

The first half began with Celta Vigo controlling possession, dictating the tempo of the game. Despite their dominance, they struggled to convert opportunities into clear-cut chances early on.
Osasuna made an early tactical change in the 31st minute, with Flavien Boyomo leaving the field for J. Herrando. This substitution seemed to inject new energy into the away side’s attack.
Just four minutes later, Osasuna broke the deadlock. Ante Budimir, assisted by Raúl Moro, slotted home in the 35th minute to give the visitors a surprise lead. Celta Vigo pushed for an equalizer before the break, but Osasuna’s defense held firm. Raúl García received a yellow card for rough play in first-half stoppage time.
At halftime, Celta Vigo needed to find a way to convert their possession into goals. Osasuna looked to maintain their defensive shape and capitalize on counter-attacks.
The second half saw Celta Vigo intensify their efforts, and their persistence paid off. Borja Iglesias converted a penalty in the 53rd minute, drawing the home side level. The equalizer ignited the Balaídos crowd and set up a thrilling final period.
Following the goal, Celta’s J. Rueda picked up a yellow card in the 56th minute for holding.

The decisive moment arrived in the 79th minute. Substitute Raúl García de Haro, connecting with a pass from Alejandro Catena, fired home Osasuna’s second goal. This late strike caught Celta Vigo off guard, who had been pushing for a winner themselves.
