Scores in finale Olaza scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.
Impact Olaza scored his first goal of the season in the final match of the campaign, and his fifth start. The wing-back did well to get forward and find the back of the net, and has been a solid option in the starting XI.
