Tactical Overview
Osasuna’s 4-3-3 formation allowed them to control the midfield, but they lacked the cutting edge in the final third. Leganés, on the other hand, employed a 4-2-3-1 setup, focusing on counter-attacks and set-pieces. The visitors were resilient in defense, frustrating Osasuna for much of the match.
The draw leaves both teams with a point each as they look to build momentum in the early stages of the season. Osasuna will be disappointed not to have secured a win at home, especially after dominating possession and creating more chances. Leganés, on the other hand, will be pleased with their defensive performance and the point earned away from home.
