Nsongo Scores in the 87th Minute as Deportivo Beat Osasuna 2-1 to End Winless Run

Deportivo La Coruna beat Osasuna 2-1 at Riazor on Monday, November 2, 2026, coming from a goal down to end a six match winless run in La Liga. Ante Budimir put Osasuna in front in the 32nd minute, Mario Soriano levelled in the 64th minute, and Bil Nsongo scored the winner in the 87th minute.

It was matchday 11. Deportivo started the night on eight points in the lower half of the table, and Osasuna were three points ahead of them. Deportivo had not won a league game in six attempts, and for more than an hour it looked as if the wait would go on.

Budimir strikes first

Budimir scored his eighth league goal of the season in the 32nd minute, set up by Moi Gomez, and Osasuna took a 1-0 lead into half time. Deportivo pushed the visitors back after the break but still had to wait for a way through, and the home crowd grew louder as the second half went on.

Soriano brings Deportivo level

The equaliser came in the 64th minute. Luismi Cruz delivered a set piece into the area and Soriano finished it, his second league goal of the season. The goal changed the feel of the last half hour. Osasuna had held their shape well until then, but Deportivo now attacked with the crowd behind them and the momentum of the game had turned.

Aubameyang returns and Nsongo wins it

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned for Deportivo after a meniscus injury that had kept him out of the last four matches. He played the final 21 minutes and had an immediate effect on the closing stages. One near post effort was blocked, and when his header was saved in the 87th minute, Nsongo arrived to score the winner. Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera made five saves on the night, but the late pressure told in the end.

Herrera keeps Osasuna in it

Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera made five saves and kept his team in the game while Deportivo pressed for a winner. The home side had the momentum once Soriano scored, and the attacks kept coming toward the Osasuna goal. Aubameyang gave Deportivo a fresh threat in the penalty area, and Osasuna defended deeper and deeper as the minutes ran down. In the end they could not hold out. Nsongo scored with three minutes of normal time left, too late for Osasuna to build an attack of their own, and Riazor had the late winner the home team had chased since half time.

What it means

The win lifts Deportivo to 13th place on 11 points, and it is their first league victory after six matches without one. Osasuna stay 15th, also on 11 points, and Budimir's first half goal was not enough to take anything from the game. Deportivo travel to Espanyol on Saturday, November 7.
