Ruben Garcia opened the scoring for Osasuna with Fidel Chaves finding a home equaliser.

Darko Brasanac then retook the visitors’ advantage on the hour mark before Guido Carrillo earned the ultimate equaliser 12 minutes from time.

Inigo Perez was then sent off for Osasuna in the 93rd minute.

The result means that Elche go into Christmas sitting in 16th, a point clear of 18th placed Real Valladolid, who host Barcelona later this evening.
