This Saturday, at the Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal returned to their home crowd after a well-deserved break. On the menu, Osasuna, a team which is in the same situation or almost as the men in yellow in the standings, that is to say in the second part of the table. And after a final defeat in La Liga, against Atlético de Madrid (1-3), Marcelino’s men, freshly arrived, wanted to reassure themselves on this 14th day of the championship.

At the end of a close match, Villarreal was able to count on an exceptional José Luis Morales, author of a hat-trick. It is he who opens the score (1-0, 57th), who doubles the lead (2-0, 71st) and who folds the match (3-1, 80th). If Alejandro Catena Marugán believed, for a moment, to revolt his people (2-1, 78th), Osasuna finally pays for his poor defense. On arrival, Marcelino’s team recovered and enjoyed a significant success which should help them get back on track (12th). In the ranking, the visitors are in 14th place.
