Osasuna kept up their challenge on the top spots, and held on to the fourth Champions' League place with a battling win over Real Murcia. This year's revelation side took the lead in the eleventh minute when Bakayoko ran on to collect Valdo's cross and fire his first goal for his new club past Juanmi. The lead only lasted a few minutes though before Elía, making his first team debut in place of the injured Sanzol, dropped a soft cross at the feet of Luis García for him to roll the ball into the empty net.

The incident most people will remember this match for though came shortly before half time when Moha crashed into Maciel from behind, leaving the Argentine midfielder with his leg broken in three places and his ankle hanging gruesomely from the end of his leg. Moha was only shown a yellow card by referee Daudén Ibáñez, but the incident so affected the Osasuna player that he asked to be substituted at half time and went straight to the hospital to comfort his adversary.

Maciel's plight meant that new signing Julio Alvarez came on after a long lay off through injury, and the visitors started the second half looking to defend the point. Aguirre threw on Webó to reanimate the attack and Juanmi had to be at his best to save from a Bakayoko header. But then Dauden upset the visitors by sending off two of their players in three minutes, Carreras for a rigorous second yellow card and Jensen with a straight red for a hard tackle, and only a minute later Bakayoko took a return pass from Valdo to beat Juanmi for the second time and give his side the victory.
