BM Torrelavega lost 26:32 to Valladolid in a club friendly on 21 August 2026, a result that settles the opening fixture for both sides with no points on the board yet. To be fair, neither team had much to prove in this warm-up session, though the scoreline tells its own story. The visitors took control early and maintained it through the second half, with their defence holding firm when Torrelavega pressed forward. By then the game was already decided.
Torrelavega arrive with mixed form, having lost 20:34 to Veszprém on 19 August and 24:36 to Barcelona on 22 May, though they did beat Guadalajara 39:31 earlier in May. Valladolid's recent run is equally uneven—25:32 away to Veszprém last time out, a 29:29 draw with Aguals-Santases on 14 August, and a narrow 28:27 win over Ademar León on 23 May. Both sides are still finding their rhythm ahead of the competitive season.
The match ended with Valladolid three goals clear, a margin that reflects their control rather than any dramatic turnaround. Torrelavega scored 26 goals, which would have been enough to win most of their previous friendlies, but Valladolid found a way through when it mattered. The away side never stopped moving, and their attackers made the difference in the closing stages.
Neither team moved in any standings—this was a friendly, so the table remains empty for both. What matters is that Valladolid closed their preparation on a note of confidence, while Torrelavega will need to address the defensive gaps that cost them here. The result ends a run of mixed results for both sides and sets the tone for what comes next.
