Gasak Osasuna 2-0, Sevilla Skip Barcelona In The La Liga Standings

JAKARTA - Sevilla won five consecutive wins in the Spanish League after beating the host Osasuna 2-0, Tuesday, February 23 in the morning. This result made them jump Barcelona to third in the standings.

Defender Diego Carlos put Julen Lopetegui's side ahead in the 19th minute, when he jumped over two Osasuna defenders to head in Joan Jordan's corner.

Luuk de Jong put the visitors in the lead early in the second half with a back-heel strike to direct Munir El Haddadi's low cross into the net.

Meanwhile, substitute Papu Gomez almost added a late third goal but his attempt was thwarted by goalkeeper Sergio Herrera.

It was a win that was welcomed by Sevilla after their 3-2 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of last week's Champions League first leg.

Sevilla are now on 48 points in the Spanish league standings, one point ahead of Barcelona who drew 1-1 at home to Cadiz on Sunday.
