Atletico Madrid travelled to the Estadio El Sadar on Sunday knowing that three points against Osasuna would move them to within one point of second-placed Real Madrid.
A non-eventful first period brought just the one goal with Diego Costa turning home from close range to leave the capital outfit ahead at the interval.
Costa had his second in the early stages of the second period when he converted a Koke free-kick from close range, although the match ended in disappointment for the Brazilian as he was forced off with an ankle injury.
