Flavien Boyomo marked his debut season with Osasuna by scoring his first goal in a thrilling 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in La Liga on Sunday. The Cameroonian central defender found the back of the net early in the match, setting the stage for a much-needed win after Osasuna’s heavy 4-0 defeat against Girona in the previous round.
Facing pressure to bounce back, Osasuna entered the match at Estadio El Sadar determined to regain their form.
The home crowd witnessed a spirited start from their team, and it wasn’t long before Boyomo made his impact.
In the 21st minute, he latched onto an assist from Ante Budimir, delivering a powerful header that gave Osasuna the lead and marked his first goal of the new La Liga season.
Boyomo’s goal not only put Osasuna ahead but also signaled his growing influence within the squad.
The 23-year-old defender, who joined Osasuna this season, showed his ability to contribute offensively, adding a new dimension to his team’s play.
However, the lead was short-lived as Celta Vigo quickly responded. Just eight minutes later, Borja Iglesias equalized for the visitors, capitalizing on a lapse in Osasuna’s defense.
The goal sparked a period of intense play, with both teams pushing forward in search of another goal.
As the first half neared its conclusion, Osasuna regained the advantage through a stroke of luck. In the 38th minute, Celta Vigo’s Carlos Dominguez inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, handing Osasuna a 2-1 lead.
The home side carried this momentum into the break, relieved to be ahead but aware that the match was far from over.
The second half saw Osasuna focus on maintaining their lead while resisting Celta Vigo’s efforts to level the score once again.
The visitors pressed hard, but Osasuna’s defense, anchored by Boyomo, stood firm.
The Cameroonian’s presence was felt not just in his goal, but in his solid defensive performance, which helped his team secure all three points.
This victory not only boosted Osasuna’s standing in La Liga but also provided a confidence lift after their disappointing loss to Girona.
For Boyomo, the match was a personal milestone, as he continues to adapt to life in Spain’s top flight and establish himself as a key player for his new club.
With this win, Osasuna looks to build on their momentum as they prepare for the challenges ahead in the season.
Boyomo’s early goal-scoring form and solid defensive contributions will be crucial as the team aims to secure a strong position in the league.
