LIVESTREAM Spain: Las Rozas Black Demons @ Zaragoza Hurricanes, Feb. 22, 11:00 CET (11 am, 5 am ET)
The undefeated Las Rozas Black Demons (2-0) hit the road to face the unpredictable Zaragoza Hurricanes (1-1-1) in a compelling Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano Western Conference matchup that pits the reigning champions against a squad showing both explosive potential and frustrating inconsistency.
Recent performances
The Black Demons are riding high after a hard-fought 28-21 victory over Osos Rivas, sealed by a dramatic goal-line stand late in the game. Their balanced attack features contributions from running backs Gonzalo Haro and Daniel Romero, while quarterback Diego Lliteras has shown clutch ability. The Hurricanes have been a tale of two teams—following an impressive 41-19 rout of the Gijón Mariners with a disappointing 7-7 tie against the Coslada Camioneros.
Key matchup to watch
Zaragoza‘s offense demonstrated explosive potential in their win over the Mariners, with quarterback Juan Baro accounting for six touchdowns. However, their inability to finish drives against the Camioneros raises questions about their consistency. They’ll face a Black Demons defense that has shown resilience but also vulnerability in high-pressure situations.
What’s at stake
This game represents a critical test for both teams—the Hurricanes need to prove they can compete with the league’s elite, while the Black Demons look to maintain their perfect record and solidify their status as the team to beat. With Zaragoza‘s Jekyll-and-Hyde tendencies and Las Rozas‘ championship pedigree, this showdown at Santa Engracia Municipal Football Field could either be a statement win or a frustrating reminder of the gap between contenders and pretenders.
