Aragonese derby


The Aragonese derby, is the name given to any association football match contested between SD Huesca and Real Zaragoza, the two biggest clubs in Aragon.

History

After the dissolution of UD Huesca, teams from both cities did not meet until 1978 in a Copa del Rey match, that ended with a draw at Estadio El Alcoraz. However, Real Zaragoza would eliminate Huesca in this and in their next meeting in the first round of the 1985–86 Copa del Rey.
In 2008, the relegation of Zaragoza from La Liga and the promotion of Huesca from Segunda División B allowed them to play the first Aragonese derby in Segunda División. It was played at La Romareda and ended with a 2–2 draw in a match where Zaragoza came back from a two-goal disadvantage. At El Alcoraz, Zaragoza beat the locals 1–0. Both teams would not face one another again until January 2016, again in Segunda División, in a match that ended 3–3 at La Romareda.
Huesca beat Zaragoza for the first time, on 6 November 2017, after eleven games played between them. At the end of that season, Huesca finished second and gained automatic promotion for the first time to La Liga, while Zaragoza placed just behind in third, but lost in the subsequent play-offs, meaning Huesca would play in the division above their regional rivals for the first time.
