Sevilla 1-0 Osasuna: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Sevilla 1-0 Osasuna in the La Liga on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Sevilla secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Osasuna at home, breaking a run of three consecutive losses. The match’s decisive moment came in the 51st minute when Rubén Vargas converted a penalty, providing the only goal of the game.

This result was not entirely surprising given Osasuna’s recent form, which included three losses in their last four matches. Sevilla’s disciplined performance, highlighted by their ability to hold off Osasuna’s pressure, showcased a return to form that could be pivotal for their season.

Osasuna, despite having more possession, struggled to convert their control into scoring opportunities, reflecting their ongoing challenges. The team’s inability to break down Sevilla’s defence, coupled with their recent poor run of results, underscores the need for tactical adjustments.

Sevilla’s victory not only ended Osasuna’s hopes of a positive result but also highlighted the importance of clinical finishing in tight matches. This win could serve as a turning point for Sevilla, boosting their confidence as they look to climb the league standings.

The match statistics reveal a closely contested game, with Osasuna holding a slight edge in possession at 53% compared to Sevilla’s 47%. Despite this, Sevilla managed to secure the win, demonstrating their efficiency in front of goal with Vargas's crucial penalty.

Osasuna’s slightly higher number of corners (6 to Sevilla’s 5) and successful dribbles (38% to Sevilla’s 35%) suggest they had more attacking intent, but it was Sevilla’s defensive solidity that ultimately prevailed. The match was also marked by a high number of yellow cards, with Sevilla receiving five and Osasuna three, indicating a fiercely competitive encounter.

The pivotal moment of the match occurred in the 51st minute when Rubén Vargas scored from the penalty spot, securing the only goal of the game. This penalty was crucial, as it was the difference between the two teams. Sevilla’s disciplined approach was further evidenced by their four substitutions, which helped maintain their energy levels and defensive structure throughout the match. Osasuna’s inability to respond effectively to this goal, despite their substitutions and tactical changes, highlighted their struggles in front of goal.

Sevilla lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Odysseas Vlachodimos in goal and a backline of José Ángel Carmona, Tanguy Nianzou, Marcão, and Gabriel Suazo. The midfield was anchored by Djibril Sow and Batista Mendy, with Juanlu Sánchez, Peque Fernández, and Rubén Vargas supporting striker Akor Adams. This setup allowed Sevilla to maintain a solid defensive structure while providing enough attacking threat to secure the win, particularly through Vargas’s decisive penalty.

Osasuna deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Sergio Herrera between the posts and a defence consisting of Jon Moncayola, Enzo Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, and Abel Bretones. The midfield duo of Iker Muñoz and Moi Gómez supported the attacking trio of Rubén García, Víctor Muñoz, and Kike Barja, with Raúl García leading the line. Despite their efforts to control the game, Osasuna’s formation struggled to break down Sevilla’s defence, resulting in a frustrating loss.

Rubén Vargas was named Bwin’s Man of the Match for his decisive contribution to Sevilla’s victory. Scoring the only goal of the game from a penalty in the 51st minute, Vargas demonstrated composure under pressure. His performance was crucial in breaking Sevilla’s losing streak and securing three vital points, making him a standout player in a tightly contested match.
