Dominant Osasuna held to 1-1 draw by Zaragoza
Osasuna had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Real Zaragoza in the Primera Liga on Saturday despite dominating their in-form opponents for most of the match.
The Navarrans got off to a flying start, taking the lead in the third minute when Zaragoza old boy Savo Milosevic headed in past Cesar after midfielder Ludovic Deporte had ballooned a cross into the area.
Zaragoza were a mere shadow of the side who demolished Real Madrid 6-1 in the Cup in midweek and rarely threatened the Osasuna goal.
But they still managed to snatch an equaliser against the run of play just before halftime when Argentine midfielder Leonardo Ponzio netted with a curling free kick.
The draw left Osasuna in third spot in the table, a point ahead of Real Madrid and level with second-placed Valencia, who are at home to leaders Barcelona on Sunday.
Real will be looking to restore their pride after their midweek mauling at the hands of Zaragoza when they play relegation-threatened Athletic Bilbao in Saturday's late match.
Sevilla consolidated fifth place in the standings thanks to a 4-0 win away to fellow Andalucians Cadiz.
Argentine striker Javier Saviola opened the scoring in the sixth minute and fellow forwards Kepa and Frederic Kanoute grabbed late goals to complete an emphatic victory for Juande Ramos's side.
