Osasuna opened the group stage with yet another 0-0 result against Heerenveen, their fifth draw in Europe competitions this season. Neither side had been able to score in their last three matches, but it was the Spaniards who dominated the first half, with Puñal bring a save out of Vandenbussche early on and Soldado, Nekounam and Izquierdo all trying their luck before the break.

Juanlu was blocked by Hansson after the restart and Soldado (yet to score in an Osasuna shirt) headed the easiest of chances wide. But the Dutch side could have gone ahead had Elia not saved from substitute Yildirim with ten minutes to go, their first and only real shot in target in all the match.

A few minutes later the visitors were left with ten men when Nilsson was shown a second yellow card for time wasting as he left the field to be substituted, and Ziganda finally threw on Romeo, who almost won it with last minute header which the keeper managed to keep out.
