Barbastro secured a 1-0 victory over Huesca in a Club Friendly on 22 August 2026. The result came at a time when both sides are building momentum ahead of the new campaign. It marked another step forward for the home side under their current setup.
Friendlies serve a different purpose than competitive fixtures, but the scoreline told a clear story. Barbastro held their ground and took the points. To be fair, the margin of victory reflected a solid defensive display rather than anything flamboyant.
The hosts have been finding consistency lately. They beat Laida 2-1 in their most recent outing on 8 August, having previously overcome Zaragoza 2-1 on 1 August. Before that, a 1-0 win over Almudévar showed they can grind out results when needed.
Huesca arrived with mixed recent results. They beat Tardienta 3-1 on 16 August and demolished Andorra 4-0 three days later. Yet those victories were sandwiched between a 2-2 draw with Gimnàstic and a 0-1 defeat to Logroñés. They have not won since their last competitive outing in the league.
By then, both teams had used these matches to test combinations. Barbastro's narrow victory suggests they are building something methodical. The result does not change any table position, but it adds confidence ahead of the season proper.
