Boyé’s Hat-Trick Fires Alaves to Thrilling 5-2 Win Over Osasuna

Alaves Stun Osasuna in Seven-Goal La Liga Spectacle

Mendizorrotza Stadium erupted as Alaves demolished Osasuna 5-2 in a breathless La Liga encounter, Argentine forward Lucas Boyé claiming a devastating hat-trick to leave the visitors reeling.

Alaves Explode Into Life

The hosts needed just 27 minutes to break the deadlock when Boyé pounced on Mariano Díaz’s clever flick, rifling past Sergio Herrera. Nine minutes later, the roles reversed – Díaz converting Antonio Sivera’s pinpoint assist with a thunderous volley that sent the Basque faithful into raptures.

Osasuna’s Brief Resurgence

Ante Budimir gave Osasuna hope on the stroke of half-time, tapping home Moi Gómez’s cross. When the Croatian striker converted a 64th-minute penalty after Abel Bretones won a contentious spot-kick, an improbable comeback seemed possible at 3-2.

Boyé Seals His Legend

But the Mendizorrotza would bear witness to Boyé’s ascendance. The 28-year-old completed his hat-trick in the 68th minute with a clinical finish from Ángel Pérez’s cutback before Pablo Ibáñez rubbed salt in Osasuna’s wounds with a fifth in stoppage time.

The Aftermath for Both Sides

Osasuna’s yellow card tally (2) told the story of their frustration, while Alaves’ 51% possession and 7 shots on target underscored their dominance. For Quique Sánchez Flores’ men, this scintillating victory propels them up the table, while Luis Miguel Ramis must regroup quickly after shipping five for the first time this season.
