Atletico Madrid breezed to a commanding 4-0 home win over Osasuna, with four different players getting on the scoresheet as they moved up into third place in La Liga.
How the Match Unfolded
Atletico took an early lead through Jonathan David in the 24th minute, settling into control from there. They doubled their advantage after the break through Lee Kang-In in the 54th minute, before Robin Le Normand added a third just nine minutes later in the 63rd minute to put the result well beyond doubt. Substitute Álex Baena rounded off the scoring late on, netting in the 82nd minute to complete a dominant 4-0 victory at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
Key Stats
Atletico’s dominance was reflected across the match, with the hosts controlling proceedings throughout against an Osasuna side missing several key players through injury, including Jorge Herrando, Valentín Rosier, Aimar Oroz, and Moi Gómez. Atletico themselves were without Julián Álvarez, Alexander Sørloth, and Pablo Barrios, yet still found more than enough attacking quality to see off their opponents comfortably.
Star Names on Show
Atletico’s attack featured Jonathan David, Ademola Lookman, and Lee Kang-In, with Robin Le Normand also getting on the scoresheet from defense and Jan Oblak marshaling the goal. Osasuna’s response came through a heavily rotated lineup as they searched for answers against a rampant home side.
What It Means
This result builds nicely on Atletico’s recent win over Real Sociedad and lifts them into third place in La Liga, sending a real statement of intent despite missing key attacking players through injury. For Osasuna, the comprehensive nature of the defeat, coupled with their own injury list, will raise concerns as they look to arrest a difficult run of form.
