Hugo Duro goes 9 games without scoring at Mestalla
Valencia’s striker has scored zero at home for over 400 minutes, with his last Mestalla goal coming in March vs Alavés.
Hugo Duro is enduring an unusual spell at Mestalla: he has gone nine matches and more than 400 minutes without finding the net between the end of last season and the current one, and it’s been six months since his last home goal, according to Mundo Deportivo.
His most recent Mestalla strike arrived in March, when he scored the winner for Valencia against Alavés (3-2) from the penalty spot, in the 99th minute.
Nine home games, no goals
Since then, the forward has featured in nine home matches (five in 2025-26 and four in 2026-27) but hasn’t managed to beat the opposition. Over that stretch, the games at home were:
- Celta (2-3)
- Girona (2-1)
- Atlético (0-2)
- Rayo (1-1)
- Barcelona (3-1)
- Celta (0-0)
- Betis (0-1)
- Barcelona (0-5)
- Real Sociedad (2-3)
The minute tally highlighted by the report totals 412 minutes without scoring at Mestalla: 254 from the final phase of last season plus 158 from this campaign, as Mundo Deportivo notes.
He did score, just away
Even so, Duro did score in the closing stretch of last season, though on the road: he netted in Valencia’s wins over Sevilla (0-2) and Real Sociedad (3-4), per the same outlet.
