UE Olot secure impressive 2-0 win at SD Logroñés

UE Olot produced a disciplined away performance to beat SD Logroñés 2-0 on Sunday, 27 September 2026, in the Segunda Federación (Segunda División RFEF). Two well-taken goals and a stubborn defensive display earned the Catalan side all three points against a Logroñés team that struggled to find any rhythm.

The result leaves Olot in a positive position in the table and adds to Logroñés's growing frustration on home soil.

Match overview

Logroñés began the game with intent, pushing men forward and forcing a couple of early corners. But Olot weathered the storm and took the lead against the run of play on 34 minutes. A quick counter-attack ended with a low cross that was turned in at the near post, silencing the home crowd.

The second half saw Logroñés dominate possession but create little of note. Olot doubled their lead on 71 minutes with a well-worked set-piece routine, and from there they managed the game expertly. A late red card for Logroñés ended any faint hopes of a comeback.

How the goals came

• 34' – Olot (0-1): A rapid counter ended with a clinical near-post finish.
• 71' – Olot (0-2): A rehearsed free-kick was headed home at the back post.

Tactical story

Olot set up in a deep 5-3-2 formation, inviting pressure and looking to spring quick counter-attacks. Their wing-backs worked tirelessly, and the back three dealt comfortably with Logroñés's crosses. The midfield trio pressed intelligently, cutting off passing lanes and forcing the hosts to go long.

Logroñés, meanwhile, lacked width and penetration. Their build-up was slow, allowing Olot to reorganise, and their attacking players were often isolated. When they did create half-chances, they were either blocked or off target.

Standout players

Olot's goalkeeper Pere Vidal was outstanding, making several important saves, particularly in the first half. Centre-back Marc Fontàs marshalled the defence superbly, while the goalscorers – one from open play and one from a set-piece – showed the team's versatility. For Logroñés, midfielder Iker Sáenz tried to drive his team forward, but he received little support.

Table impact

The three points lift Olot into the upper half of the Segunda Federación table, giving them confidence ahead of a challenging run of fixtures. Logroñés remain in mid-table but will be concerned by their home form and lack of goals.

For Olot, this was a textbook away performance: organised, patient and ruthless when chances arrived. If they can replicate it, they will be a tough opponent for anyone in the division.
