Leganes pulled four points clear of La Ligas relegation zone with a 2-0 victory over Osasuna at the Estadio Butarque. Justin Smoak Jersey . The club from the Madrid suburbs were ahead after five minutes through Rober Ibanez, and he added a second 12 minutes into the second half to wrap up the win.The result ended a run of four straight defeats for Leganes, while for Osasuna, playing their first game under new coach Joaquin Caparros, it was a third defeat from four games and they remain third bottom. Leganes had scored none and conceded nine in their three previous matches but made the ideal start as Ibanez swept them ahead.Diego Rico crossed from the left and although the Osasuna defence were able to crowd out Gabriels headed effort, the ball broke to Ibanez to finish calmly with his right foot.

He showed less composure when he skied an effort over the bar two minutes later.Rico was impressive as an attacking force and almost laid on a second goal in the 33rd minute. His driven ball from the left reached Brazilian forward Luciano, who teed himself up for a scissors kick which drifted wide of Nauzet Perezs left-hand post.The Osasuna goalkeeper made an unorthodox save with a minute of the half remaining, sticking out his left foot to block Gabriels drilled set-piece attempt that found a way through the defensive wall.The visitors failed to get a single effort on target in the first half and the best they mustered in the second half was an unconvincing volley from Oier straight into the midriff of Leganes goalkeeper Jon Ander Serantes 10 minutes into the second period.The game was effectively over two minutes later when Ibanez made a diagonal run from right to left and beat Nauzet at his near post with a shot from a tight angle.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.

Robin McBryde accepts that Wales can help their cause for the 2019 World Cup by delivering successful results this season. A nine-Test campaign begins on Saturday when Australia arrive at the Principality Stadium.With the Japan 2019 pool draw taking place in May next year, the higher a world ranking Wales can obtain by then should assist them avoiding a so-called group of death repeat.Defeat against Australia in December 2012 relegated Wales outside the worlds top eight - and the subsequent 2015 World Cup draw saw them grouped alongside the Wallabies and hosts England. We know the implications of not having a very successful period between now and May, Wales assistant coach and forwards specialist McBryde said.The repercussions of that we felt in the last World Cup, really, where we had a short turnaround against quality teams, and ultimately that took quite a bit out of us.We know we can help our cause in 2019 by getting results at this stage. Everyone is more than aware of that. It does give a little bit more importance to getting those wins in the next however many months it is.If Wales are to start on the right foot, though, they must end an 11-match losing run against Australia, a sequence that stretches back eight years.Australia are ranked above us, and they are always a quality team, McBryde added. At this stage of the season, historically, we havent been very strong, so hopefully this young group of players that weve got will enter the game tomorrow with no baggage and give it their best shot.Wales field only seven survivors from their last game - a 46-6 defeat against world champions New Zealand in Dunedin just over four months ago - and they go into battle without absent forwards in flanker Sam Warburton, lock Alun WWyn Jones and number eight Taulupe Faletau. Ryan Goins Jersey. It has meant a new-look back-row of Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric and Ross Moriarty being selected, while Australia - potentially crucially - can field their twin masters of the breakdown in David Pocock and Michael Hooper.The stadium roof will be open at Wales request this weekend - dry conditions are forecast - as they look to derail Australias possible Grand Slam tour of Great Britain and Ireland this autumn at the first opportunity.Wales interim head coach Rob Howley, in charge this season while Warren Gatland concentrates on British and Irish Lions business ahead of next summers New Zealand tour, fully recognises the Pocock/Hooper threat.With Pocock and Hooper, it shows the sort of landscape they want to play. Its up to us to make sure that they are not in control of that landscape, and thats a challenge, Howley said. The contact area is going to be hugely important, and theyve got two specialists, and thats going to be a huge challenge.They are a big physical pack, with the front-five looking to set a good platform for the six, seven and eight to have an influence around the park. It is important we control what we control. The contact area is always a focus in international rugby, in winning those small yards in those areas and making sure we are technically and tactically right.?The big thing for us on Saturday is having composure and being clinical, particularly when we get into those areas which we did 12 months ago (against Australia in the World Cup). The longer we have the ball, the longer they dont, and that is a challenge in itself.
