Logroñés played Zaragoza in a club friendly on Thursday, 14 August 2026, and came away 1-2 losers despite taking the lead early. The match took place at Logroñés's home ground and served as preparation for the upcoming season, with both sides looking for rhythm rather than results.
I. Vadillo opened the scoring in the 20th minute, giving the hosts a cushion they would not keep. To be fair, Logroñés had the better of the opening exchanges, and the goal arrived from sustained pressure. L. Issman equalised for Zaragoza in the 32nd, and by then the visitors had settled into their shape. J. Tobajas turned it around in the 75th, and the away side held on until the final whistle.
Logroñés recorded 86 attacks against 64 for Zaragoza, with possession split 55 per cent to 45. The hosts won seven corners to three, though the difference in attacks suggested they were creating more but not converting. One yellow card each kept the discipline even, and neither side saw a red card.
Logroñés had won their last friendly against Huesca 1-0 and drawn with Real Sociedad B's reserve side, but this result broke their momentum. Zaragoza came in with a mixed run — a win over Real Sociedad B, a loss to Andorra, and a defeat to Barbastro — so the victory brought them together early in the window.
And here's the thing about friendlies: the table does not move, but the pattern sometimes does. Three goals across two halves meant chances went begging for both sides, and the 2-1 margin reflected a game where moments mattered more than possession.
