Osasuna finally got their first win of 2006, beating Sevilla 0-1 in the Sánchez Pizjuán stadium in the last game of the weekend. It was a typical hard fought match between the two, with referee Pérez Lasa showing thirteen yellow cards and one red, that to Sevilla left back David who insulted a linesman in injury time.

The Andalusians came in to the game full of confidence after three home wins in a row, but the visitors closed them down right from the start and there were few chances for either team in the first half. Jesús Navas had a good chance to open the scoring after the restart but he shot wide, and Romeo just failed to beat Palop with a chip over the bar at the other end.

A couple of minutes later though the Pamplona based side took the lead, Milosevic celebrating his return to the line up after a month long's injury heading Javier Flaño's cross past the keeper. Ricardo saved from Maresca at point blank range a couple of minutes later, and the Italian midfielder missed a chance to save a point for the hosts when he headed wide right at the end. Osasuna are back on track for European football, and Sevilla will have to wait a little longer if they are to oust Javier Aguirre's side from that fourth spot.
