Osasuna is still sweet and does not lower the piston even in a friendly match in which Arrasate gave minutes to the less usual against an Alavés who mixed starters and substitutes. Two of those players with less minutes, Ávila and Barbero, scored the local goals.
Osasuna jumped onto the pitch without any starter in his eleven while Lane introduced footballers like Duarte, Pina, Manu García, Rioja and Joselu. The match could not have started better for the Navarrese as a robbery of Ontiveros in three quarters of a field allowed his foray into the area where he gave the ball so that Chimy Ávila will open the scoring in minute 6.
