Felipe Caicedo scored early for the hosts after 17 minutes, although he failed to score a penalty later in 29th minute, reports Efe.

Osasuna played with one man down after Oier Sanjurjo was sent off in the 29th minute following a tough challenge against Gerard Moreno. Jose Manuel Jurado doubled it for Espanyol in the beginning of the second half, followed by a third goal scored by Gerard Moreno just before the final whistle.
