Vital win for Osasuna against Getafe

Osasuna have moved four points clear of the relegation zone in La Liga with a narrow 1-0 win against Getafe at home.

The hosts had the game's first clear-cut chance in the 16th minute when Nino released Kike Sola to shoot on goal, but Mane made a last-ditch challenge to avert the danger.

Nino was presented with another opportunity on 25 minutes when Alejandro Arribas headed the ball towards him, but the Spaniard clipped his effort over the Getafe crossbar.

Minutes later Miguel de las Cuevas swung in a cross inside the Getafe penalty box that Emiliano Armenteros headed wide.

The visitors could have made Osasuna pay for squandering their opportunities two minutes before the break when Pedro Leon delivered in a cross, but Lafita failed to keep his header on target.

Osasuna had another good chance to break the deadlock in Pamplona after the hour mark, but Sola was unlucky to see his header come back off the post.

The hosts eventually made their domination count 15 minutes from time when Arribas headed home Armenteros's corner from close range to win the match.
