Osasuna He counts all his games by wins this preseason: four of four. A lone goal from Kike Barja it was enough to prevail over a combative Mirandés that, although he has yet to complete his roster, he offered great resistance at the Tajonar facilities. The Navarrese also maintained their unbeaten goal for the third consecutive game. Only the Huesca has been able to pierce the goal of the Jagoba Raze. It was in a first game that Osasuna went back. The rojillos, in green this preseason, have only scored in the second half. They carry six goals in two games and three of the four wins have been by the minimum.
There was expectation to see how the pair got along Kike García- Chimy Ávila. Two fighters who make rival defenses fear with their tireless fight, both in the pressure of the opponent’s ball output and in the offensive section. The former took eight minutes to search for the goal thanks to a shot at the half turn after a pass from Javi Martínez but Ramón Juan, the hero of Cornellá in the last edition of the Copa del Rey and newcomer to Mirandés, stopped the kick. The attacking pair partner also enjoyed a good opportunity when he launched himself for a lateral center but Odei, central of the Burgos team who stood out in Chopping, prevented the ball from reaching the net.
It was a quarter of an hour into the meeting and at half an hour, the Argentine tried again with no luck. Before, the collegiate, the Navarrese Prieto Iglesias, was able to whistle a penalty in favor of Mirandés but did not observe that the charge of David garcia about Rementeria was sufficient to indicate the maximum penalty. The Mirandés scared with another very dangerous launch of Meseguer in 34. And in the twilight of the first half, Carreira he had the best chance yet. The incorporation of the right back, on loan from the Celtic, ended up in a shot from Pontevedra that Juan Perez he deflected with his foot to a corner.
The duel resumed with just a change in the goal of the Mirandés. Lizoáin relieved Ramon Juan. The Burgos team came out better than Osasuna to the pitch. However, the entry of Torres and, above all, of Budimir was key. A head fight within the area of the Croatian international allowed Barja hunt a ball in the front of the small area and shoot the rival goalkeeper to establish the 1-0. From there, and more with the carousel of changes, the Mirandés lowered the level shown so far. Kike García touched his goalscoring debut with Osasuna but he left empty. The ex of Eibar will have a new opportunity next Wednesday when, on the same stage and at the same time -11: 00-, Osasuna receives the Logroñés Sports Union.
