First division, day 29 rescheduled match

Osasuna 3 - Villarreal 2

A last minute goal from substitute John Aloisi gave Osasuna their fifth win in a row and ensured first division football at the Sadar stadium next season. The match had been postponed from four weeks ago when Villarreal were obliged to play a postponed UEFA cup match, and Pellegrini's side came in to the game needing a point to move back up to the Champions' League spots. Marcos Senna got them off to a best possible start when he caught out Elía with a long shot early on, but Webó equalised before half time with a well taken goal and Ortíz put the home side ahead midway through the second half when he drilled the ball home after Reina could only push out a shot from the Camerooni striker. Sorín got on the end of a Javi Venta free kick to level the scores again, but Aloisi connected with a cross behind the defence from Ortíz late on to give his side the three points. (28.04.05)
