Saturday, May 9th 16:00h CA Osasuna 1 - Villarreal CF 2
The 'groguet' side took the first leg. The 'rojillas' started better, but the first chances fell to the visitors, though they failed to convert them. Just before half-time, ‘Lauris’ created a good play down the left wing. The home goalkeeper cleared the ball, and the rebound fell back to the winger, who didn't miss, opening the scoring. After the break, CA Osasuna pressed harder in search of an equaliser, but Josu Domínguez's side remained wasteful in front of the opposition goal. Saioa came close to surprising with a dangerous cross, and Urzainqui again troubled the visiting defence with a header. Azpiazu also tried with a direct free-kick, but it was María Romero who extended the Yellow Submarine's lead with a shot from mid-range. A few minutes later, Claudia Jiménez made it 1-2 on the scoreboard, leaving everything open for the return leg, which will be played on Sunday, May 17th at 20:00h.
