Huesca secured their first points of the División de Honor Plata campaign with a 29:27 victory over Oviedo at home on Saturday. The result places the hosts sixth in the table with two points from one game, while Oviedo remain tenth with a single draw and zero points.
The match concluded with Huesca holding their nerve in the closing stages. Oviedo had shown resilience in their opening fixture, drawing 29:30 against Cisne on 13 September, but could not find an equaliser this time. The visitors pushed hard but the home side kept their shape when it mattered.
For us, a home win felt like the most likely outcome. Huesca have the deeper squad and had already demonstrated they can compete at this level, winning 35:33 against Zamora in their previous match. That recent form gave us confidence, and the players delivered when called upon.
Oviedo's opening point away at Cisne showed they are not without quality. However, they will need to tighten things up in defence if they want to climb away from the bottom half. A draw against a newly promoted side is a start, but the gap between that and a win remains to be bridged.
The result means Huesca sit comfortably in mid-table territory after one round. Oviedo will look to build on their draw as the season progresses. The history between them adds an edge to future meetings, and both sides will want more from this fixture when they meet again.
