Osasuna’s late goal gives Celta Vigo their first home defeat since November

VIGO, Spain (AP) — A late goal from Raúl García de Haro gave Osasuna a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in La Liga on Friday and handed the hosts their first defeat at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos since November.

García de Haro managed to repel Alejandro Catena’s clever knockdown with 11 minutes remaining and deflected the ball wide to the far post.

Ante Budimir gave visiting Osasuna the lead just before half-time with his 11th goal of the season only for Borja Iglesias to equalize from the penalty spot for Celta eight minutes into the second half.

Celta’s winless run was extended to four matches in all competitions and left them in seventh place.

Osasuna were one place behind and closed the gap between the teams to four points.

“This is the second away win in a row,” Budimir said. “We competed very well and got what we deserved through hard work.”
