Fofana Sets Up Both Goals as Sevilla Beat Osasuna 2-0 to Climb Back to Sixth

Sevilla returned to winning ways in LaLiga on Monday night, beating Osasuna 2-0 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to close out Matchday 10. The home side had gone three league matches without a win, and the pressure showed early as Osasuna started brightly, but Sevilla's efficiency in front of goal made the difference. The breakthrough came in the 24th minute. Youssouf Fofana produced a clever backheel to set up Isaac Romero, who finished to put Sevilla ahead. Osasuna kept plenty of the ball after that, enjoying more possession overall, but they managed only two shots on target all evening and could not turn their territorial edge into clear chances. Sevilla stayed patient after the break and sealed the points late. Fofana was involved again in the 82nd minute, leading the counterattack that ended with Félix Correia scoring the second goal. It was a fitting reward for the midfielder, who had a hand in both goals on a night when Sevilla needed someone to make the decisive passes. The win lifts Sevilla back up to sixth in the table and back into the European places, a timely boost after a difficult run that included meetings with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Osasuna, meanwhile, stay 12th after a defeat that leaves them still searching for consistency away from home. For Sevilla, the challenge now is to build on this result rather than treat it as a one-off, with the side having shown against Osasuna that they can win without dominating possession.
