Match15 Feb 2027

Osasuna Promesas are in real trouble now

Position 18, 21 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A one-man rearguard from Dimitris Stamatakis

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match13 Feb 2027

The wait goes on for Osasuna Promesas

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Rockson Yeboah goes up and wins it — 7.60

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.60 for the rest of it.

Match13 Feb 2027

Rockson Yeboah’s goal not enough for Osasuna Promesas

Rockson Yeboah scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Lugo, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Osasuna Promesas

Bruno was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Mario Cortés faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mario Cortés after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Dimitris Stamatakis wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Osasuna Promesas will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Looking ahead15 Feb 2027

The leaders are next for Osasuna Promesas

Tenerife top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Match6 Feb 2027

The wait goes on for Osasuna Promesas

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Nobody could get near Íñigo Arguibide

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Íñigo Arguibide wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Osasuna Promesas will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Rockson Yeboah makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Mario Cortés was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Osasuna Promesas dressing room was either.

Match6 Feb 2027

Osasuna Promesas draw a blank against Celta Fortuna

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Celta Fortuna defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Match2 Feb 2027

No goals between Osasuna Promesas and Real Madrid Castilla

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Real Madrid Castilla will be the happier side with the point.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Dimitris Stamatakis remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Osasuna Promesas would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Nothing got past Anton Yefremov

11 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad4 Jan 2027

Dimitris Stamatakis is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Osasuna Promesas

Dimitris Stamatakis was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

Íñigo Arguibide was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Anai makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

Half-satisfied: Mario Cortés on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Osasuna Promesas have started building around Anton Yefremov

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Rafa Fernández

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match2 Jan 2027

No goals between Osasuna Promesas and Cacereño

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Cacereño will be the happier side with the point.

Looking ahead4 Jan 2027

Mikel García faces his old club

Unionistas next, and one man in the Osasuna Promesas dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
