The newly-promoted side, who have a stadium with a capacity of just over 5,000, won 2-1 against Eibar last weekend in their opening game after being promoted last season from the second tier.

And they came from 2-0 down with 20 minutes left to force a draw against Athletic Bilbao last night, the equaliser arriving courtesy of this stunning effort in the 87th minute from Ezequiel Avila as he flicked up the ball, swivelled and rocketed in a superb strike. 

The draw leaves SD Huesca in 6th place on four points and unbeaten two games into the new La Liga season.

No pressure then for their next game on Sunday evening.

A trip to the Camp Nou awaits to face the reigning league champions Barcelona, who have won their two games to date and are yet to concede a goal.
