Key match details
Carlo Ancelotti’s side got off to a promising start, scoring the opening goal in the 15th minute. Federico Valverde’s powerful run down the right flank culminated in a low cross that Kylian Mbappe expertly finished into the roof of the net.
Osasuna came close to equalising near the half-hour mark. Aimar Oroz’s shot from inside the box was expertly turned around the post by Thibaut Courtois. Real Madrid’s task became even more challenging five minutes before halftime, as Jude Bellingham received a straight red card for dissent towards the referee.
The home team emerged from the halftime break with renewed energy, and they were awarded a penalty just before the hour mark. Ante Budimir was brought down by Eduardo Camavinga, and the striker calmly converted the penalty to level the score.
With the match now tied and a man down, Real Madrid adopted a more defensive approach, seeking to capitalise on counter-attacking opportunities. The final moments of the match saw little goalmouth action, as both teams settled for a share of the points.
