LaLiga: Barcelona made to work for win over Osasuna

Barca dominated the match from start to finish but were held at bay by a capable and well-organised Osasuna defence.

Barcelona had 80% of the possession throughout the match and produced over 20 shots before Raphinha was able to break the deadlock 70 minutes into the game.

While the result was never really in doubt, Raphinha made it certain when he added a second goal in the 86th minute.

Ferran Torres had thought he had broken the deadlock as early as the 23rd minute before his goal was ruled out for Raphinha being offside in the buildup.

There were times when Osasuna looked threatening on the counterattack, but they struggled to convert the pressure into chances, producing just three shots on goal throughout the game.
