Osasuna 2-1 Getafe Player Ratings: Catena Rated 9/10 as His Late strike Earned Osasuna 3 Points

On October 3, 2025, mid-table LaLiga teams Osasuna and Getafe battled for crucial three points to boost their standings. The match was marked by frequent dispossessions, with both teams struggling to score a second goal for much of the game. From a momentum perspective, neither side dominated, resulting in a tightly contested 50/50 clash where either team could have emerged victorious. A late strike from Catena sealed the win for the home side, Osasuna, narrowing the gap between them and Getafe in the standings.

Getafe drew first blood in the game with the help of Spanish veteran Borja Mayoral who found the net in the 23rd minute, capitalizing on a great cross from Luis Milla. They looked comfortable for a while, soaking up pressure in their typical organised fashion, having created a low block.

However, just when it seemed Getafe would take a lead into the break, Osasuna struck back spectacularly. Osasuna defender Abel Bretones scored a gem of a strike from outside the box right before halftime. The second half became a cagey, foul-ridden affair. Both sides huffed and puffed but neither could find a winning goal, with substitutions failing to break the deadlock. But a game changing event took place at the 90th minute when Catena scored the winning goal, which sealed all 3 points for the home side.

Here are Getafe Player Ratings vs Osasuna

Goalkeeper

David Soria - 6.5: Had absolutely no chance with the stunning goal he conceded. Made a crucial save from Raúl García in the second half to keep his team level. His distribution was a bit hit-or-miss, but he was solid when called upon.

Defenders

Abdel Abqar - 5.5: A difficult first half for the defender. He was booked for a clumsy foul and missed a golden opportunity with a header from a corner. Hooked at halftime, which tells you everything you need to know about his performance.

Diego Rico - 6.0: A battling performance, but he struggled in the air, losing most of his aerial battles. He was solid enough on the ground and made a couple of important tackles. Didn't offer much of a threat going forward.

Kiko Femenía - 6.5: A very steady and professional display from the fullback. He was positionally sound and made several interceptions. We noticed he didn't venture forward as much as usual, focusing on his defensive duties.

Juan Iglesias - 7.0: We were impressed with his defensive work. He won the majority of his duels and was a terrier in the tackle, winning the ball back cleanly on four occasions. He was aggressive and committed, a real bright spot in the backline.

Domingos Duarte - 7.5: An absolute colossus at the back. Racked up a massive 18 clearances, constantly in the right place to snuff out danger. He commanded the penalty area with authority, though he might be disappointed he didn't score with a headed chance.

Midfielders

Luis Milla - 8.0: Getafe's best player on the park by a distance. Provided a beautiful assist for Mayoral's goal and was the source of all their creativity. His set-piece delivery was a constant threat, and he created two big chances. The yellow card was the only blemish on an otherwise excellent performance.

Mario Martín - 5.0: A night to forget for the young midfielder. He looked overwhelmed, committing five fouls in just 45 minutes and picking up a booking. It was no surprise to see him substituted at the interval.

Mauro Arambarri - 5.5: A surprisingly quiet game from a player we expect more from. He was industrious but ineffective, losing possession frequently and struggling to impose himself on the midfield battle. A passenger for large parts of the game.

Forwards

Borja Mayoral - 7.5: Took his goal with the composure of a striker in fine form. He led the line well, holding up the ball and providing a constant outlet. His work rate was relentless until he was substituted with 15 minutes to go.

Álex Sancris - 6.5: Showed flashes of quality, particularly with his crossing. He created a couple of decent opportunities for his teammates. However, he drifted out of the game for long periods and struggled to make a consistent impact.

Substitutes

Djené Dakonam - 6.5: Brought on at halftime to add stability, and he did just that. A no-nonsense performance.

Yvan Neyou - 6.0: Came on and immediately got into the thick of it, picking up a yellow card. Added some energy but was a bit reckless.

Coba da Costa - N/A: Not on long enough to make a significant impact.

Juanmi - N/A: Had little time to influence the proceedings.

Manager

J. Bordalás Jiménez - 6.5: His team executed his game plan well in the first half, but they were undone by a moment of magic. His substitutions were pragmatic, aimed at securing the point, which they ultimately did. A typical Bordalás result on the road.

Goalkeeper

Sergio Herrera - 6.5: He couldn't do a thing about the well-taken Getafe goal. Commanded his area well and made a crucial save late in the first half to prevent his team from going two down. A solid outing for the captain.

Defenders

Juan Cruz - 6.0: Put in a decent shift before being subbed off. He was strong in his duels and kept things simple. Didn't provide much of an overlap, but he was defensively reliable for the most part.

Enzo Boyomo - 6.0: A busy evening for Boyomo who was heavily involved but also lost the ball more than he would have liked. He made a few important tackles but looked a bit frantic at times under pressure. An inconsistent performance.

Alejandro Catena - 9.0: A tower of strength at the back. He won a remarkable number of aerial duels and was a clearance machine. From our perspective, he was crucial in repelling Getafe's attacks, especially from set-pieces. and also played a crucial role by scoring the stoppage time winner, which became the deciding factor of the match.

Midfielders

Lucas Torró - 7.0: Was having a fantastic game before his unfortunate injury. He was dominant in midfield, winning every duel he contested in the first half. Osasuna missed his presence after he went off.

Jon Moncayola - 6.5: Covered every blade of grass in a typically hard-working display. His passing was a bit erratic, losing possession quite often, but his energy and commitment could not be faulted. A mixed bag.

Moi Gómez - 7.0: A very tidy and effective performance in the middle. He was strong in the challenge, winning most of his duels, and kept possession well for his team. An understated but important contribution.

Valentin Rosier - 6.0: A quiet game on the flank. He worked hard defensively but offered very little going forward. Seemed to struggle to get into the rhythm of the match and was largely anonymous in an attacking sense.

Abel Bretones - 8.5: The highest-rated player and our man of the match. Scored an absolute screamer of a goal to drag his team level, a true goal-of-the-season contender. He was a creative force, also setting up chances for others. What a performance.

Forwards

Ante Budimir - 5.0: A really frustrating evening for the big striker. He was a physical presence but his finishing was way off, missing a couple of clear chances. His movement was poor, getting caught offside too often.

Víctor Muñoz - 7.5: Extremely lively and looked dangerous every time he got the ball. He provided the assist for Bretones' wonder goal and created several other good chances. A real thorn in Getafe's side until he was taken off.

Substitutes

Rubén García - 6.0: Came on for the injured Torró and slotted into midfield without much fuss.

Raúl García - 6.5: Added a different dimension up front and forced a good save from Soria.

Kike Barja - N/A: Barely had time to make an impact on the game.

Manager

A. Lisci - 7.0: His side showed fantastic character to fight back from a goal down. He will be thrilled with the point, secured by a moment of individual brilliance. His changes were positive as he pushed for a winner that just wouldn't come.
