Alaves storm past Osasuna in goal fest

L. Boyé's hat-trick powers Alaves to a commanding 5-2 victory.

Alaves delivered a dominant performance against Osasuna, with L. Boyé starring by netting a hat-trick including goals at 27', 51', and 68'. Despite A. Budimir's efforts for Osasuna with two goals, including a penalty at 64', Alaves maintained control and sealed the win with a late goal from Pablo Ibáñez at 90'. Fipster's high-confidence prediction of an Alaves win was spot on, though the actual scoreline was far more emphatic than the modest 1-0 forecast.
