SD Huesca 1–2 Real Sociedad B: Late Drama in Huesca as Sanse Snatch Vital Away Win

SD Huesca’s push for a play‑off spot suffered a setback on 12 May 2026 when Real Sociedad B produced a gritty second‑half performance to leave El Alcoraz with a 2‑1 victory. The match, played in front of a lively crowd at the Estadio El Alcoraz, saw the visitors turn around a one‑goal deficit to claim three precious points in the Spanish Segunda División.

Match Overview

The opening half belonged to the home side. Huesca, sitting just outside the promotion play‑off places, started with intensity and controlled possession. Their pressure paid off in the 34th minute when a well‑worked move ended with a clinical finish to give the Aragonese side a deserved lead. Real Sociedad B, known for their disciplined defensive structure under manager Sergio Francisco, struggled to create clear chances and went into the break trailing.

The second half was a different story. Sanse emerged with renewed energy and began to press higher up the pitch. The equaliser came in the 63rd minute: a quick counter‑attack caught the Huesca defence out of position, and the finishing striker slotted home from close range. With momentum shifting, the visitors continued to push for a winner. The decisive moment arrived in the 78th minute when a deflected shot from outside the area wrong‑footed the Huesca goalkeeper, putting Real Sociedad B ahead.

Tactical Story

Huesca’s 4‑4‑2 shape looked solid in the first half, with wide players pinning back Sanse’s full‑backs. However, after the break, Real Sociedad B’s switch to a 4‑3‑3 with a high press disrupted Huesca’s build‑up play. The visitors’ midfield trio of Rober, Turrientes and Gorrotxategi began to dominate the second‑ball battles, allowing them to sustain pressure. Huesca’s inability to adjust to the pressing game was a decisive factor.

Standout Performers

• Jon Gorrotxategi (Real Sociedad B): The midfield anchor won crucial duels and started the move for the equaliser.
• Rober (Real Sociedad B): His tireless running and intelligent passing created space for the winner.
• Carlos Kevin (Huesca): The forward was a constant threat in the first half but faded as the game wore on.

Table Impact

The defeat leaves Huesca in 8th place with 54 points, now three points adrift of the top six with four matches remaining. Real Sociedad B, meanwhile, move up to 13th, further cementing their mid‑table safety and extending their unbeaten run to four games. For the Basque side, this result is a statement of resilience away from home.

The win also highlights the depth of talent in the Segunda División, where any team can trouble the promotion contenders. Huesca will need to regroup quickly for their next fixture against Mirandés.
