Mirandés took a narrow 1-0 victory over Osasuna II in a Club Friendlies fixture on August 8th, 2026. The match offered little drama until the evening stages, and then one moment changed everything. To be fair, the result was never in doubt for long after the break.
I. Unzueta found the net in the 72nd minute, and the home side never quite recovered from the blow. The goal came late enough to force Osasuna II into a desperate search for an equaliser, and they paid for a sloppy opening. By then, the visitors had settled into their rhythm and were comfortable holding the lead.
Mirandés arrived with mixed recent form — a 3-1 win over Granada and a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad B, but also defeats to Leganés and Eibar. Osasuna II's run was equally uneven, with wins against UD Logroñés and Amorebieta sitting alongside losses to Real Sociedad B and Huesca. And here's the thing, such friendlies rarely reveal much beyond what the coaching staff wanted to test.
The match was decided by three or four moments rather than sustained pressure, and this was one of them. Osasuna II had the game in hand for most of the contest, but a single lapse in concentration gave Mirandés the advantage. The visitors weathered the storm after the goal and saw out the remaining time without further incident.
The scoreline reflects a match where the visitors made the most of their chances. Osasuna II will look back on this as a result that slipped away at the wrong moment, while Mirandés can take satisfaction from a clean sheet and a late winner. Friendlies do not go into the table, but they do shape confidence.
