Huesca secured a 3:1 victory over Tardienta in a Club Friendly on 16 August 2026. The match took place at the agreed time of 16:30 and concluded with the hosts in comfortable command of proceedings. To be fair, the result reflected the gulf in recent activity between the two sides.
Huesca arrived with five fixtures behind them, including a dominant 4:0 win against Andorra and a hard-earned 2:0 against Real Sociedad B. Tardienta's record was markedly different, with their last two outings dating back to 2023 — a 12-goal drubbing by Getafe and a narrow 2:1 win over Ziraucky. And here's the thing, such a contrast in match fitness showed in the final scoreline.
The goals came in a pattern that favoured the home side. Huesca took the lead on the stroke of half-time and extended their advantage shortly after the break. Tardienta pulled one back through a late effort, but it was insufficient to trouble the visitors' defence. By then the result was already settled.
No formal statistics were recorded for this fixture. Friendlies rarely produce the kind of possession data or expected goals that accompany league matches. The focus was on rhythm and preparation rather than numbers on a screen.
For Huesca the three points came as a solid marker of their pre-season trajectory. They had shown vulnerability in a 2:2 draw with Gimnàstic and a 1:0 loss to UD Logroñés, but this performance suggested improvement. Tardienta's heavy defeat in 2023 remains the most notable entry in their recent record.
