A crucial moment arrived in the 37th minute when Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois conceded a penalty. Ante Budimir stepped up confidently to convert the spot-kick in the 38th minute, sending the home crowd into raptures.
The referee’s whistle brought a surprising end to the first half, with Osasuna holding a slender lead. Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid needed a tactical rethink. They sought to reclaim their usual dominance and find an equalizer.
