Osasuna coach Jogeba Arrasate was left delighted after their 1-0 win at Real Sociedad,
Ante Budimir struck the winner after halftime.
Arrasate said: "We were not overmatched this season. Today we competed, we were a unit, and it was seen on the field.
"Beyond playing better or worse, the result has been favourable, with a committed team.
"Statistics are secondary, what matters is winning.
"We have lost many games with set pieces and today it was the other way around. We like that at the end of the year the balance is favourable."
