Huesca complete quick return to La Liga after beating lowly Numancia

Huesca were promoted to La Liga on Friday after easily defeating Numancia 3-0.

The Aragonese outfit follows Cadiz into Spain's top flight. Huesca confirmed their ascent while pushing Numancia closer to relegation courtesy of a brace from Rafa Mir, who's on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, and an unorthodox backheel from former Leicester City favorite Shinji Okazaki.

Huesca were in the second tier for a single season after finishing 19th and therefore suffering relegation in the 2018-19 La Liga campaign.

Okazaki, 34, is Huesca's top scorer with 12 goals, and 32-year-old David Ferreiro leads his team with nine assists. The experienced pair reflect the selection policy head coach Michel has championed, as his five outfield players with the most league appearances this season have an average age of 32.4.

Huesca conclude their 2019-20 term with a trip to 11th-placed Sporting Gijon on Monday.
