Real Zaragoza regains leadership after derby victory

Real Zaragoza has returned to the top of Group 2 in the Primera Federación following a 2-0 victory against SD Huesca in the Aragonese derby. The match, played before over 18,000 spectators at the Ibercaja Estadio, was decided by goals from Joaquín Delgado and Iker Vadillo.

Delgado opened the scoring in the first half after capitalizing on a turnover by Huesca defender Kembo. Vadillo secured the win in the second half with a clinical finish following a defensive error by Gorostidi. Zaragoza’s tactical approach, characterized by high pressure and verticality, was credited with disrupting Huesca’s ability to build play from the back.

Huesca finished the match with ten players after Diego Gómez received a second yellow card. Despite the loss, Huesca remained competitive for portions of the game, though they struggled to respond to Zaragoza’s coordinated pressing efforts after the halftime break.
