Laredo secured a narrow 1:0 victory over Arenas-Gijon in a club friendly on Friday. The match took place on 22 August 2026, with C. Martins finding the net in the 40th minute to decide the encounter. Both sides registered similar attacking output, but the hosts held on for the result.
The goal came shortly after a 39th-minute effort that was also recorded. Martins' strike proved decisive, as neither team could add to the scoreboard. The match featured three yellow cards for Laredo and one for their visitors.
Statistically, the game was even. Laredo and Arenas-Gijon each had 0.5 possession and recorded 113 and 107 attacks respectively. Both teams had zero corners and zero goal kicks, with offsides levels at two and one.
Laredo's recent form has been mixed. They lost 3:0 to Athletic Bilbao II on 18 August, drew 1:1 with Cristo Atletico on 15 August, and have seen heavier defeats in previous encounters against Urden and Eclano.
Arenas-Gijon have struggled in their last five fixtures as well. Heavy losses to Eibar and Numancia stand out, though they did beat Mutilvera 3:0 and drew with Barkaldo in earlier matches.
The result leaves both clubs to assess their preparation. Laredo's single goal was enough, but the statistical parity suggests they will need to sharpen their finishing if they want more consistent returns.
