Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Both of them Roberto Arroyo's — 9.24

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.24, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Anai, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.22

A mark of 8.22 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Osasuna Promesas

Roberto Arroyo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match26 Sep 2026

Roberto Arroyo’s goal not enough for Osasuna Promesas

Roberto Arroyo scored, and precious little else went right: 3‑4 to Real Avilés, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match26 Sep 2026

7 goals as Osasuna Promesas and Real Avilés go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Osasuna Promesas and Real Avilés, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Íñigo Arguibide was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

One of their own: Anai

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Jon Gallardo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Jon Gallardo after 3‑4, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Looking ahead28 Sep 2026

The leaders are next for Osasuna Promesas

Real Madrid Castilla top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Osasuna Promesas

Roberto Arroyo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

One of their own: Dimitris Stamatakis

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Both jobs done by Anai — 6.70

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 6.70, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Ander Yoldi

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Jon Gallardo: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Match19 Sep 2026

Point won or two lost for Osasuna Promesas?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Zamora? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No place in the plan for Mikel García

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Ander Yoldi speaks, and the room listens

“I am not asking anybody to be better than they are. I am asking everybody to be as good as they are, every week.” Said out loud, in front of everybody, and the room at Osasuna Promesas was different afterwards.

Looking ahead21 Sep 2026

Home comforts ahead for Osasuna Promesas

Real Avilés, position 19, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

Match12 Sep 2026

Roberto Arroyo wins it after the whistle should have gone

93 minutes played. Roberto Arroyo found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Ourense CF went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

One of their own: Roberto Arroyo

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match12 Sep 2026

Osasuna Promesas find a way past Ourense CF

Ourense CF made Osasuna Promesas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

One of those days for Roberto Arroyo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Ander Yoldi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

A satisfied Jon Gallardo

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Jon Gallardo could afford to be generous.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Ander Yoldi knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ander Yoldi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A defender's afternoon for Diego Espejo

Defensive actions: 10. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Rafa Fernández left out for tactical reasons at Osasuna Promesas

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Ander Yoldi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Osasuna Promesas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A promotion for Ander Yoldi

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Ander Yoldi has moved up it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Osasuna Promesas give Ander Yoldi the armband

A decision that decides nothing on the pitch and everything in the room. The manager has said, without saying it, whose voice he wants heard when his own is not there.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The room hears from Anai

“Nobody outside is coming to save us.” It was short, it was not comfortable, and by all accounts the Osasuna Promesas squad were quieter afterwards than they had been all season.
