Real Aviles suffered a disappointing 1-2 home defeat to CD Lugo in the Spanish Primera División RFEF on January 26, 2026. Despite taking an early lead at their home ground, Aviles was unable to hold on as Lugo mounted a spirited second-half comeback to snatch all three points. The hosts started brightly and were rewarded with a goal from a set-piece situation, heading home from a corner to go ahead. Lugo grew into the game and equalized just after the hour mark following a swift counter-attack. The match winner came with about ten minutes remaining, as a defensive lapse from Aviles allowed a Lugo forward to slot the ball past the goalkeeper. This result was a setback for Aviles's campaign, while Lugo's resilience on the road earned them a crucial victory in their battle to move up the league table.
