Osasuna welcomed Elche to Pamplona on Friday looking to pick up their first three points of the La Liga season.
The home side had the lead after 16 minutes when Emiliano Armenteros found the bottom corner with a powerful finish, with that goal all that separated the two sides at the interval.
It was 2-0 in the early stages of the second period when Oriol Riera converted from close range. Edu Albacar cut the deficit to 2-1 with a late penalty, but Elche could not force an equaliser as Osasuna held on for a vital victory.
