Match log
Every finished match on file S. Ñíguez actually featured in, most recent first, bounded to Bzzoiro Sports Data’s own per-match player-stats coverage, not this player’s full career (see “Season by season” below for that). This is also what the last-10-games Player Bets list on each fixture page’s Odds & Bets tab reads from. The columns are the ones that matter for S. Ñíguez’s position. A dash means none; a blank means no figure is on file for that match.
