Did you just realize that Christmas Eve is the day after tomorrow? Do you have a friend who loves football and has not remembered to buy a gift? Do not think twice, give him the Osasuna 3 - Real Sociedad 4 this Sunday. Unless your friend is red, you won't find a better option. Because we talk, perhaps, of the game of the year in the League, a memorable meeting in the underground noon of a Sunday in December . Seven goals, several stops, two expulsions, arbitrary controversies ... He had all the duel of El Sadar. [Narration and statistics: 3-4]

It was the Real who finally took the victory, taking advantage of an extraordinary first half hour and thanking Roncaglia's self-expulsion that left Osasuna with 10 when the reds threatened to come back. A team, the one of Arrasate , that will have to review with fruition their defensive drips in the first half, but that practiced an outstanding soccer in that second half of pure passion. Playing like this Saturday, the Navarre team will miss few games.

After a first failed attempt by Aridane in a corner, the Real started 20 magical minutes in which he punished Osasuna mercilessly with three goals in the blink of an eye. Oyarzabal scored the first from inside the area after a new fantasy pass from Odegaard , which drew a pass line that very few players can see. The second, three minutes later, was from Portu , who noticed an awful cession of Estupuñán , chased the ball with his usual determination and beat Herrera in the hand to hand. And the third came in a direct foul by Odegaard, thrown with mastery to the goalkeeper suit, sold after taking a step in the opposite direction.

Osasuna catharsis

In the 28th minute, finally, the Real won by 0-3 to an Osasuna that was pure candor in defense, a disaster without palliative that presaged a comfortable noon for the whole of Imanol Alguacil . So it was until, in the discount of the first part, Aridane with a lethal frentazo gave hope to the whole of Arrasate. It was an anticipation of what was going to happen at the beginning of the second half, in which Osasuna completely disarmed the Real based on intensity, direct play and the heart of unstoppable soccer players like Rubén García and, above all, Chimy Ávila .

It was the Argentine who placed the 2-3 in the 48th minute. Llorente cleared fatally backwards, Chimy picked it up, bargained at Zubeldia (who shortly afterwards forgave the second yellow) and stung Remiro to cause delirium in The Sadar Thereafter, Osasuna besieged the Real for 20 minutes in which he was close to the goal several times, although the San Sebastian could also mark the fourth in a shot from Gorosabel saved by Herrera when he sneaked through the squad.

Red to Roncaglia

That phase ended in minute 71 with the expulsion of Roncaglia . The referee showed him the yellow one in the first instance, but after consulting the VAR monitor he realized that his elbow to Le Normand deserved the direct red. Osasuna did not give up despite staying with ten (and without Arrasate, also expelled), but his inferiority made him lose options in attack and undress in defense.

In that context, Isak took advantage of his loneliness in the area to score the fourth goal of the Real after a center of Zubeldia after Herrera saved a shot from Portu. There was still time for more, specifically for a fancy play by Chimy, who after a long shipment was involved in the two centrals of the Real and placed it on his head to save Remiro's exit. Osasuna, who ended up indignant at the arbitration proceedings, claimed in the final minutes a penalty on Mérida , but they were no longer able to avoid defeat against a Real that ends the year with excellent health.
