Almazán Stuns Guijuelo with Narrow Victory, Turning Tables in Tercera División RFEF Clash

In an unexpected turn of events at Campo Municipal La Arboleda 2, Almazán delivered a formidable upset, edging out second-placed Guijuelo with a 1-0 victory that reverberates through the standings of the Tercera División RFEF. This match, held on October 25, 2025, proved pivotal not just in terms of points but also regarding momentum, as Almazán continues its quest for consistency.

In the lead-up to the match, expectations were high for Guijuelo, who came into the contest riding a five-match unbeaten streak, including a recent 2-1 victory against Palencia CF. Alberto Rodríguez, their leading scorer, was anticipated to shine, while Almazán, despite their recent resurgence with back-to-back wins, still hovered towards the lower half of the table. In my pre-match analysis, I confidently suggested that Guijuelo would maintain their dominance, but football is nothing if not unpredictable.

The match opened with both teams asserting their play, but it was Almazán who found the breakthrough. In the 38th minute, Luis Pérez struck with a well-placed shot that slipped past Guijuelo's goalkeeper, silencing a visiting crowd that had expected to witness a continuation of their side's strong form. This solitary goal proved to be the catalyst for a scramble in the second half, as Guijuelo sought to restore parity.

In response, Guijuelo ramped up their attacking efforts, but found themselves thwarted at every turn by a resolute Almazán defense, led by an inspired performance from their backline. The home side, buoyed by their lead, displayed resilience, absorbing pressure and launching counter-attacks that kept Guijuelo on their toes. Despite several close calls and a late surge, Guijuelo could not breach Almazán's defense, leaving them frustrated and unable to find the back of the net.

This result holds significant implications for both teams. Almazán, now with 12 points from eight matches, climbs to 10th place, breathing new life into their season and instilling confidence after a shaky start. For Guijuelo, the loss is a crushing blow, as they remain stationary on 17 points - still in second place but now faced with pressure to recover in their forthcoming fixtures.

Looking ahead, Almazán will aim to build on this triumph as they seek to consolidate their progress in the league. Meanwhile, Guijuelo must regroup and find a way to bounce back quickly, as they cannot afford to let this defeat derail their title aspirations. With both teams now navigating a pivotal juncture in the season, the stakes have only heightened in the race for promotion.
