Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Huesca
Óscar Sielva 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.
Squad9 Nov 2026
Words at Huesca training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ilias Akhomach is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Match7 Nov 2026
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Agustín Módica. 2‑1 against Ceuta, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces9 Nov 2026
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Ilias Akhomach has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Ninety minutes of Agustín Módica at his very best
Marked 8.14. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Huesca.

Match31 Oct 2026
No end in sight to Huesca's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Huesca has to find a result from somewhere.
Loan watch2 Nov 2026
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Huesca, and 0 appearances in 8 say he has earned the hearing.

Ro Abajas falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
7.80, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Huesca had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Agustín Módica named in the team of the month
A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Agustín Módica is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
Match31 Oct 2026
A 1‑1 draw with Leganés leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
Boardroom2 Nov 2026
Huesca counting the cost
The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Huesca now.

Successful dribbles: 54. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match16 Sep 2026
Huesca bow out of the cup
Racing Santander go through and Huesca go home, 2‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Óscar Sielva in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Huesca this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match19 Sep 2026
Eibar made Huesca work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The afternoon belonged to Dani Ojeda
7.86, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Huesca had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Agustín Módica 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 Agustín Módica trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Market21 Sep 2026
Huesca have made Urtzi Iriondo available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Óscar Sielva goes up and wins it — 7.72
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.72 for the rest of it.
Squad7 Sep 2026
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Juan Ignacio Blanco is living that version at Huesca, and it tends to show in the first month.
Market7 Sep 2026
The name of Ro Abajas has come up in conversations Huesca were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match5 Sep 2026
It finished 2‑0, and it was Óscar Sielva’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Huesca.
Squad7 Sep 2026
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Huesca will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
Squad7 Sep 2026
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Juan Ignacio Blanco and Huesca agree another 4 years.
