VIDEO The great firebrands scored two goals and picked up eleven

In a match of the fourth round of Spain's La Liga, Croatian footballer Ante Budimir scored two goals for his team Osasuna but they lost 2-5 against Alaves. Budimir opened the scoring for Osasuna in the 46th minute with a header, and later equalized at 2-3 from the penalty spot in the 64th minute. However, Alaves' Argentine player Lucas Boye was dominant, scoring three goals, including a long-range strike in the 51st minute and another in the 68th minute. The final goal came from Ibanez in the 90th minute. Meanwhile, Barcelona continued their strong performance by defeating Valencia 5-0 in their match, with young star Lamine Yamal scoring twice. Barcelona leads the league table with 12 points, followed by Alaves, Real Madrid, and Betis.

Ante Budimir, the Croatian forward for Osasuna, criticized his team's defensive performance after a heavy 2-5 defeat against Alaves in a La Liga match on Sunday. Despite scoring two goals, Budimir expressed frustration over the team’s inability to prevent damage from minimal opportunities given to the opposition. He stated, “I don’t care much about the goals. We must not allow the opponent to score so much with such little possession.” The match began well for Osasuna, who controlled the game and created several chances, including one that was brilliantly saved by Alaves' goalkeeper. However, the hosts conceded a goal shortly after receiving a long ball, which Budimir identified as a key issue. “We were very good, but the problem is that we practically received a goal from the first long ball. Lucas Boye was excellent, but we can’t let the opponent threaten us with so little,” he said. Budimir highlighted the team’s struggles with long balls, noting that Osasuna had conceded two goals following such situations. “Two goals practically from two long balls. The second came after a shot on goal, and we weren’t strong enough. That needs to be fixed,” he added. Budimir opened the scoring in the 46th minute with a header from a corner, giving Osasuna a 1-2 lead. But Alaves quickly responded, with Argentine striker Lucas Boye scoring from outside the box in the 51st minute to make it 3-1. Osasuna fought back, with Budimir equalizing from the penalty spot in the 64th minute to reduce the deficit to 2-3. Boye answered immediately, scoring again in the 68th minute to take the lead, and the match concluded with a 5-2 victory for Alaves, thanks to a late goal from Iban Izquierdo. Despite the loss, Budimir praised his team’s effort and called for continued work, especially in defense. “We can definitely learn a lot from this match and improve. I have no doubts we will do that. That’s all that remains,” he said. He also commended the fans for their support during the away match. “We know what our supporters mean to us. They were amazing again, and of course, we’re sorry we didn’t return their support with a result.” Osasuna, currently eighth in the league, has recorded two wins and a draw so far this season. The team faces further challenges as they continue their campaign in La Liga.

Budimir scored two goals and then criticized his own team after the defeat

Hrvatski nogometni igrač Ante Budimir postigao je dva pogotka za klub Osasunu, ali tim je doživio težak gostući poraz 2-5 od Alavesa u španjolskom prvenstvu. Nakon utakmice, Budimir je kritizirao obrambene greške svoje momčade, naglašavajući kako su protivnici mogli napraviti ogroman uticaj s kratkim prikazima. Iako je Budimir bio u dobru formi, individualni uspjesi nisu mogli spriječiti poraz. On je pozvao svoje suigrače da nastave raditi i izvuče pouku iz utakmice, posebno u obrambenom dijelu. Osasuna trenutno zauzima osmo mjesto u ligaškom prvenstvu.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on a sports match and does not involve any politically charged subject matter. The content is purely about football performance and team strategy, which is considered apolitical. Therefore, the lean is set to CENTER as there is no political bias to analyze.

Why factuality (75): The article accurately reports Budimir scoring two goals and criticizes his team's defensive issues, aligning with the primary source document. However, it mentions a final score of 2-5, while the primary source states the score was 2-3 after Budimir's penalty. This discrepancy reduces factuality. T

Why objectivity (65): The tone is somewhat critical of the team but remains focused on Budimir’s performance and comments. While there is some emotional language ('teški poraz'), the overall reporting stays on the facts without overt bias.

Why objectivity (60): The article maintains a neutral tone when discussing Budimir's performance and team issues, but the repeated emphasis on the 'visokog prvenstvenog poraza' could be seen as slightly biased towards highlighting the defeat rather than presenting a balanced view.
