The hosts controlled the tempo throughout, with their patient build-up play evident in 375 passes at 82% accuracy compared to Zaragoza's more direct approach. Rubén Alves emerged as the match-winner with his 71st-minute strike, capping off a solid defensive display that limited the visitors to just two shots on target.
