Real Madrid Soar to La Liga Summit with Convincing 4-2 Victory over Osasuna
Vinicius Junior Grabs Brace as Los Blancos Extend Lead
Girona's Title Hopes Dented in 1-0 Defeat
Madrid, Spain - Real Madrid put in a dominant display at the El Sadar Stadium on Saturday, crushing Osasuna 4-2 with Vinicius Junior bagging a double to strengthen the team's grip on the La Liga title race. The victory extends their commanding lead at the top of the table to 10 points, leaving fading rivals like Girona in their wake.
Vinicius Junior opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a neat finish, before Federico Valverde doubled Madrid's advantage just six minutes later. Osasuna responded with a goal from Ante Budimir in the 57th minute, but Vinicius Junior restored Madrid's two-goal cushion with a stunning solo effort in the 74th minute.
Kike Barja pulled one back for Osasuna in stoppage time, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation as Real Madrid held on for a crucial three points. Meanwhile, Girona's title hopes took a significant blow as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to relegation-threatened AlmerÃa. Samu Costa's first-half goal condemned Girona to their third straight defeat, leaving them languishing in mid-table and virtually out of contention for the title.
