Almazán Snaps Winless Streak with Dominant Four-Goal Outburst Against Struggling Mojados

The drought finally ended at Campo Municipal La Arboleda 2, and when it did, it came in a torrent.

Almazán, winless through their first four matches of the Tercera División RFEF campaign, exploded for four goals in a commanding 4-1 victory over Mojados on Saturday, delivering the kind of performance that had eluded them all season. It was cathartic, emphatic, and desperately needed—a statement that this club, mired in 16th place with nothing but draws and defeats to show for their efforts, still possessed a pulse.

The breakthrough arrived in the 20th minute, when Almazán finally found the back of the net after more than 250 minutes of frustrating football. The home side had managed just three goals in their previous four outings—each one salvaging a draw rather than securing a victory. But on this afternoon, something shifted. Five minutes later, they doubled their advantage, and suddenly the weight of those three consecutive draws and two demoralizing losses began to lift.

Mojados, themselves winless and languishing in 18th place with a solitary point from five matches, offered little resistance in the opening half. Their defensive frailties, exposed repeatedly in a campaign that has seen them concede 11 goals while scoring just twice, were on full display. The visitors had arrived in Almazán having failed to score in three of their last four matches, managing just a late consolation in a 3-1 defeat to Becerril Campos and a penalty in their season opener.

The second half brought a momentary flicker of hope for Mojados. In the 64th minute, they pulled one back, briefly threatening to author an unlikely comeback story. For approximately five minutes, the possibility of redemption hung in the air at La Arboleda.

Then Almazán extinguished it. Just five minutes after conceding, the hosts restored their two-goal cushion, and any lingering doubt about the outcome evaporated into the October air. The 82nd-minute strike served as the final punctuation mark on a comprehensive performance, Almazán's most complete display of the season.

The victory represents far more than three points for a side that had watched its early season slip away in a succession of narrow defeats and frustrating stalemates. After opening with three consecutive 1-1 draws—against Bembibre, Arandina, and Becerril Campos—Almazán had dropped successive matches to Palencia CF and Mirandés II, the latter a particularly disheartening 3-0 shellacking that raised serious questions about the team's trajectory.

For Mojados, the defeat extends their misery into a fifth consecutive match without a victory. Their lone point came in a scoreless draw with Palencia CF on October 4th, a result that at least represented defensive solidity. But Saturday's collapse revealed the fundamental issues plaguing their campaign: an inability to keep goals out and an equally troubling inability to put them in.

The contrast between these two sides heading into the match was paper-thin—separated by just two points and two places in the table. Yet on the pitch, the gulf appeared cavernous. Almazán's attacking output in 90 minutes exceeded their production from the previous four matches combined, while Mojados' defensive vulnerability reached new depths.

What It Means

The victory lifts Almazán to three points, though they remain in 16th place in the 18-team Group 8 standings. More importantly, it provides tangible evidence that their early-season draws weren't mere flukes—there is genuine quality in this squad when properly unleashed.

Mojados, meanwhile, sink deeper into the relegation mire. With just one point from five matches and a goal difference of minus-10, their predicament grows increasingly dire. The fixtures don't ease up, and confidence—already fragile after four consecutive defeats—has taken another severe blow.

For Almazán, the challenge now becomes building on this breakthrough rather than retreating into the inconsistency that has defined their campaign. For Mojados, the mathematics are becoming increasingly stark: at some point, moral victories and competitive performances must translate into actual points. Saturday offered neither.
