The Uruguayan grabbed his second assist of the night just 11 minutes later as he put Vinicius Junior through on goal. The Brazilian rounded the keeper and tapped in to make it 3-0.
Vinicius then turned provider himself, providing an assist for Joselu in the 70th minute to round off the scoring. He split Osasuna's defenders with a lovely pass to the Spaniard in open space as he smashed it past Sergio Herrera to make it 4-0.
