ELCHE, Spain (Interstat) — Elche and Osasuna opened their La Liga seasons with a scoreless draw Friday at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.

The match, played Feb. 13, 2026, failed to produce a goal despite several second-half substitutions aimed at sparking the attack. The contest was a physical affair, with six yellow cards issued by the 85th minute, including two in a single incident involving Osasuna’s Ante Budimir and Elche’s Marc Aguado in the 37th minute.

The result defied pregame projections. Interstat’s game simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw, while its ELO system gave Osasuna a 54.9% probability to win. Both clubs now hold identical records of 0 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw in league play.
