Osasuna took the lead through Nacho Monreal after 9 minutes when the left back after Renan had just made a fine save on Pandiani’s effot.
But the visiting side were pegged back by Mario Bermejo 13 minutes later.
However, Camacho’s men grabbed the winner late in the match thanks to Javier Camunas with just under 8 minutes remaining. The 29-year-old completed a beautiful set up by Juanfran who had made his way through two defenders before providing a neat pass in front of the goal.
