Osasuna and Barcelona match was a little less interesting when Lewandowski could only score a goal with a penalty and actually what was more interesting was the kick from Osasuna player Chimy Avila when he was in the penalty box with Barcelona's very tight defense but it was very impressive that he could kick the ball very hard and on target that produces 1 score.

This match almost ended in a draw and I was a little worried when in the second half I almost found it hard to believe that it would end in a draw but by surprise the Osasuna players made a mistake which gave a penalty opportunity and Lewandowski managed to give 1 additional score and if I see yesterday's match could have ended in a draw if the players didn't make mistakes because I saw that Osasuna's performance was not too bad, had a good defense and a very good attack line, it's just that carelessness gave this club defeat.

When you play against a big team, when it's 1-1, you can't make mistakes anymore. The expectation was that Barcelona would win the game comfortably, but that didn't happen. During the match and especially after 1-1 the odds went up but I didn't dare.

The uncertain play of the big teams at the beginning of the league makes me hesitant. Their understanding of the game is not yet settled and surprises can happen. Barcelona won this game but it was a difficult match. They managed to win the match with a penalty kick. This shows that Barcelona still have problems in front of goal.

I have to say it was a good performance from Barcelona in this match. Great goal from Barcelona in the first half, a great jump as well as a great header by Kounde. The goal from Osasuna was also good as well, with great finishing to make it even.

I actually cannot blame Osasuna for giving away the penalty. At that point, maybe it was actually a better decision to take a chance and hope for the opponent to miss the penalty, and it was probably the only way to delay the goal that was eventually going to happen. But the red card was definitely a bad situation for Osasuna. However, the red card would obviously have been worth it if they could walk away with one point from this match.
