Osasuna have kept alive their hopes of qualifying for Europe with a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad at the Estadio El Sadar.
The best chance of the first half fell to Raul Garcia after six minutes, but he saw his close-range effort saved by Claudio Bravo.
Ibrahima Balde then went close when he hit the post in the 13th minute.
He did not have to wait much longer to get his name on the scoresheet when, from a similar position, Balde found the net.
Carlos Vela wasted the chance to level the scores in the 37th minute when he blasted wide from close range.
Imanol Agirretxe had two opportunities to score in the second half but could not direct either effort on target.
Sociedad went forward in search of an equaliser but rarely troubled Andres Fernandez and Osasuna took all three points.
