Why the early chances mattered in Sevilla vs Osasuna

The early minutes set the pattern for the match. Osasuna had the first clear chance in the fourth minute, when Flavien Boyomo headed off target from a corner while unmarked. Sevilla answered three minutes later, when Felix Correia skewed a volley wide from inside the box. Ante Budimir then spurned a similar chance at the other end.

How Isaac Romero opened the scoring for Sevilla

Isaac Romero broke the deadlock after a move of real quality. Youssouf Fofana flicked a pass from Felix Correia into the path of Romero, and Romero finished beyond Aitor Fernandez. The goal was the third goal of the season for Romero, and it moved Romero to the top of the Sevilla goalscoring charts. The source report also noted that Sevilla had scored 15 LaLiga goals to that point from 12 different players. The goal also mattered for Osasuna, because Osasuna had opened the scoring in just three of the last 13 matches before this match, so Osasuna faced the task of chasing the match from the 24th minute onward.

Sevilla took control from that moment onward. Castrin blazed over the bar from 12 yards, and Chidera Ejuke drew a sprawling low save from Fernandez. The half time whistle then arrived at a bad time for Sevilla, because Sevilla had momentum before the break. The second period started in scrappy fashion, with fouls punctuating play and frustration growing among the home support.

What changed in the second half at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan

Sevilla began to threaten again midway through the second half. Fernandez pushed a long range free kick from Fofana behind for a corner, and Juan Iglesias volleyed against the post moments later. Fernandez then made a brilliant save to keep out a header from Kike Salas as full time approached. Felix Correia then sealed the win in the 82nd minute with a deflected shot. The goal was the second goal of the season for Correia, and it made the points safe eight minutes from time. The timing left Osasuna with no route back into the match.

How the 2-0 win shapes the LaLiga top six race

The victory sees sixth place Sevilla move to within two points of Real Sociedad in fifth. The win also extended a winning streak in home games against teams outside the big three to five matches. The big three in the source report were Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. For Sevilla, the end of a three game winless run and the move to sixth place with 17 points from 10 games strengthened the position of Sevilla in the top six.

What the result means for Osasuna away from home

For Osasuna, the defeat extended a difficult record in two areas. Osasuna have won just once in the last 18 visits to Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, with 3 draws and 14 losses in that run, according to the source report. Osasuna have also won just one of the last 12 away games, with 2 draws and 9 losses. The match also came at the start of a second spell for Osasuna head coach Jagoba Arrasate. Arrasate started the second spell with a 2-0 victory over Racing Santander, and the defeat meant that a second win in a row did not arrive in this match. Osasuna remained 12th with 11 points.

Why Youssouf Fofana was named Man of the Match

Youssouf Fofana was named Man of the Match in the source report, and the details in the match explain why the award went to Fofana. Fofana flicked the pass from Correia into the path of Romero for the opening goal, and Fofana later forced Fernandez into a save with a long range free kick. The original post also described Fofana as having a strong display in midfield. The combination of the assist, the free kick, and the midfield display gave Fofana a central role in the win.
