Villarreal held on to sixth spot for another few days at least after a 1-4 win against bottom club Osasuna. Roberto Soriano gave the visitors the lead in the second minute, following up after Sirigu deflected a Bakambu’s shot from a wide angle on to the upright. Vujadinovic headed a long free kick against the bar at the other end, but soon afterwards Alex Berenguer pulled down Soriano in the area, and although Sirigu saved Soldado’s first spot kick, the striker converted his second after the referee ordered a retake for encroachment. Some twenty minutes in to the second half Roberto Torres got one back with another penalty after Musacchio tripped up Sergio León, but Santos Borré came on to help himself to a brace within ten minutes of making his appearance, and Jonathan Dos Santos could have added a fifth when he hit the woodwork late on.
