Alavés continues its brilliant start to the season. Kike Sánchez Flores' side secured a dominant 5-2 home victory over Osasuna, placing them second in the league standings with three wins and a draw from their opening four championship matches. Lucas Boyé was the star of the show, bagging a hat-trick.
Osasuna initially appeared the more threatening side, with goalkeeper Antonio Sivera forced into action to deny Ante Budimir's efforts. The hosts offered little going forward until the 27th minute when Boyé opened the scoring with a magnificent strike. Shortly after, a defensive error from the visitors allowed Mariano Díaz to double Alavés' lead.
Just 18 seconds after the break, Budimir pulled one back for Osasuna with a header. Kike Sánchez Flores' team quickly responded, as Boyé netted his second of the match. Budimir also grabbed his second, converting a penalty in the 64th minute. But once again, Boyé had the answer, completing his hat-trick four minutes later. Pablo Ibáñez then added another goal late in the game.
