Ante Budimir continued his impressive scoring run, netting his ninth goal in the past 10 La Liga matches, as Osasuna secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Sevilla on Monday. The result brought Osasuna closer to the top-four race, narrowing the gap to three points, while Sevilla trailed only four points further back in the standings.

The match took time to find its rhythm, with both sides struggling to create clear chances in the first half. However, the game came alive in the second half when Budimir broke the deadlock in the 69th minute. The forward showcased his clinical finishing by heading home a precise cross from Jesús Areso, putting Osasuna in front. Sevilla responded swiftly, equalizing just three minutes later. Substitute Saúl Níguez delivered a well-placed ball over the top to Dodi Lukebakio, who skillfully rounded Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera and fired into the net to level the score.
