Monday's 1-0 victory over Alaves in the Spanish league went to home team Osasuna thanks to a goal from Croatian attacker Ante Budimir with 14 minutes remaining. Due to his black protective mask, the veteran center striker stood out from the start of the game. He attracted even more attention when he curled in a magnificent goal from beyond the box to break the tie in a close game.
Up until that point, neither team was able to muster any convincing opportunities. Samu Omorodion of Alaves came the closest, hitting the crossbar just before halftime. Budimir's goal, his 14th in 27 league appearances this season, enabled Osasuna to extend their winning streak to four games. Osasuna moved up to 10th position in La Liga, one point ahead of Getafe. Alaves was ranked thirteenth. The Basque team has only scored three goals in its past six games and has gone five games without a victory.
