Goals were scored by Militao and Casemiro in the last 15 minutes of the match
In the 76th minute, you could just hear the scream at the empty stadium. The scream of joy came from non-other than Real coach Zinedine Zidane, as his team finally scored against Osasuna. And that scream tells you how difficult and important this game was for Real. In the end, it was 2-0, but the hosts managed to score only in the last 15 minutes of the match.
13 - @realmadriden have made 13 shots vs Osasuna at the half time, more than any other first half in a single game for them in all comps being the local team to have made the most shots without scoring in this half in #LaLiga this season level with Barcelona vs Levante(13).

Real attacked, lined up chances and shots but until that 76th minute, it was like Osasuna put the spell on their goal and the magician was the keeper Sergio Herrera. The guests’ goalie saved all but two shots from the hosts and because of him, the Real players started to get nervous, the title race was on the line. But then Eder Militao found the way to break the spell and became a savior.
While everyone was looking at Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard, who started the match and played very well, the Brazilian stopper took the stage. He was the highest and most accurate jumper in the 76th minute when he sent the ball into the net. Zidane and Real players were screaming in delight. The biggest club in the world is still in the race for the title.
Just four minutes after, it was all over. Osasuna’s defense was suddenly not strong anymore and Herrera was not the magician. Casemiro scored for 2-0 and Real is still in the game for another title. Real didn't play badly against Osasuna, they just couldn’t score, mainly because of brilliant Herrera. The guests from Pamplona could punish the hosts only if they had more courage, but they didn’t, so Real got all three points.
The finish in La Liga this season is one of the most exciting ever. All three teams are within reach, and it will be the battle to the very end.
