R Madrid snatched all three points from Osasuna in a 3-1 victory on Wednesday, at the Estadio El Sadar. Both Osasuna and RMA arrived on the back of wins.

However, they were unable to maintain their lead, Ante Budimir managed to equalize and take the sides off in the 13th minute at 1-1. However, RMA just before half-time found the back of the net following a Marco Asensio goal, finalising the first half 1-2.

RMA continued to pile on the pressure in the second and were rewarded, with Lucas Vazquez finding the net just before the final whistle, leaving the final score at 3-1.

For Osasuna, Manu Sanchez, Kike Barja, Oier, Roberto Torres and Barbero, came on for Ruben Garcia, Jose Angel, Javi Martinez, Darko Brasanac and Ezequiel Avila. RMA replaced David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo for Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Isco and Vinicius Junior.
