Nahara claimed a convincing 4-1 win over Aro Deportivo in a Club Friendly on Thursday evening in August 2026. The visitors controlled much of the contest, building on their superiority to secure three clear goals in the closing stages. Aro Deportivo pulled one back through M. Zarouali in the nineteenth minute, but the match was never really in doubt after that.
Nahara took the lead just before the break when A. Merino struck, and the Basque attacker doubled his tally within moments at 45+2. The visitors had nothing to do all evening after that, with D. Garcia adding a third in the sixty-first minute before M. Echevarria and A. Moreno sealed the victory in the final quarter.
Aro Deportivo had possession of 48 per cent of the ball but managed only 67 attacks compared with Nahara's 85. The hosts failed to win a single corner and saw two yellow cards against them, while Nahara collected just one booking. By then the game had been decided, and the statistics merely confirmed what the result showed.
Recent form offered no indication of this outcome for either side. Aro Deportivo had drawn with Nahara 1-1 back in August 2021, but their last five matches included losses to Anguiano and mixed results. Nahara arrived with a run of defeats against teams like Real Union and Burgos, yet this performance suggested a different standard.
The result leaves Nahara with some confidence ahead of whatever comes next. Aro Deportivo will need to address the gaps exposed in this fixture, particularly in transition and defensive organisation. Cup football has its own rules, but this friendly told its own story.
