Villarreal Ends Losing Streak with Draw Against Osasuna

Villarreal managed to stop their dismal losing streak with a draw at El Sadar. This result marks a significant pause in their recent downward trend, which saw them suffer four consecutive losses, largely due to the two goals scored by Gerard Moreno. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it hasn’t happened in two seasons.

Gerard Moreno, the forward from Santa Perpetua, had not recorded a double since November 2023, during a league match against Granada at Los Cármenes in the 11th round of the 23-24 season. It has been 26 months since that event, and recurring injuries have hindered his performance, preventing him from achieving even better statistics.

Although Villarreal could not secure a victory despite Moreno’s contributions, the striker expressed a sense of satisfaction at the end of the match: “This field is challenging; they apply pressure. We were quickly taken down early, and we knew it would be difficult. We aimed for a win, but we leave feeling satisfied. We collected points after two league matches without a win and needed to regain our form,” he stated.

With his two goals today, Moreno has reached a total of seven in the league this season, making him the second-highest scorer for his team, surpassed only by Moleiro.
