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.

[1] 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.

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.

[3] 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 (to Numancia of Soria, another of their rival teams),[4][5] meaning Huesca would play in the division above their regional rivals for the first time.
