PAMPLONA: Osasuna drew 0-0 with Real Betis at home on Friday to remain undefeated in their first season back in La Liga.

The promoted side dictated the match at El Sadar Stadium with their intense pressure on defense and had the best chances through forward Chimy Avila.

Avila couldn’t beat goalkeeper Joel Robles one-on-one after Osasuna launched a six-on-two counterattack following a botched set piece by Betis just before halftime.

He also hit the crossbar early in the second half.

Osasuna beat Leganes in their opener and have strung together four draws, including 2-2 against defending champions Barcelona.

The hosts were left in seventh place before the rest of this weekend’s matches.

Betis are 13th after keeping their first clean sheet of the season.
