Defender Ricardo Carvalho celebrated his home debut for Real Madrid with the goal that gave Jose Mourinho his first BBVA Primera Liga win at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
The former Chelsea and Porto player, who is now at his third different club with Mourinho, was on hand to slide home the only goal of the match to give Madrid a win they deserved against an Osasuna side lacking in confidence and ambition.
Real Madrid kicked off the game boosted by the news of FC Barcelona's shock defeat to Hercules and with Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo in Jose Mourinho' s starting 11.
Karim Benzema and Mesut Ozil also started for Real Madrid, while Osasuna played a familiar looking 4-2-3-1 formation.
The visitors didn't look intimidated by the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, where the pitch was in poor condition due to a fungal condition that has affected the grass.
Ronaldo had a header blocked for Madrid, while Miguel Flao headed wide for Osasuna.
Higuain had the next chance for a Madrid side that was again lacking in fluidity, but his far post header went wide, before Nekounam headed Patxi Pual' s free kick over for Osasuna.
Madrid were slightly on top, but were looking far from convincing in a first half that had little to talk about and it was no surprise when the half time break arrived with the score still 0-0.
The home side needed just three minutes of the second half to open the score: an Osasuna free kick was cleared and Madrid launched a counter-attack, which saw Ozil find Ronaldo 10 yards from goal.
