Legendary Davor Suker was the first Croat to hit 20+ La Liga goals, netting 24 for Sevilla and repeating the feat with 24 more at Real Madrid in the 1996-97 season.
In that same season, Alen Peternac scored 23 goals for Real Valladolid.
Osasuna’s win lifted them to ninth in La Liga, with 48 points from 36 games.
