Osasuna 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano

In the Spanish league on Friday, Osasuna defeated Rayo Vallecano 1-0 at home thanks to a header from Raúl García deep into stoppage time. Osasuna moved up two spots to 12th in La Liga with their first victory in seven league games. Rayo Vallecano has gone seven league games without a victory, although they are still in 10th place, one point ahead.

At Estadio El Sadar, both teams were well matched and made early runs into the woodwork, but Garcia's tenacity was what kept the two teams apart. After entering the game as a replacement in the 84th minute, he scored his first goal of the year in the fifth minute of stoppage time, sending the home crowd into consternation. Garcia told Movistar, "I needed that goal because I haven't been doing so well." Even if we never performed that well, we have needed a victory like this.
