Riberete beat Gijuelo 2:1 in a Club Friendly on Wednesday, 19 August 2026. The away side took all three points from the visit to Gijuelo's ground, ending the hosts' run of unbroken results in their last five games.
Gijuelo had not lost since their 1:3 defeat to Atlético Astorga more than a year ago, but this result breaks that streak. They had shared points with Atlético Tordeperillas and kept clean sheets against Cacereño, while Ureña and Zamora had both fallen short of a win. By then the pattern was clear — consistency without breakthrough.
The scoreline tells only part of the story. «And here's the thing» about friendlies is that results rarely map onto performance, but Gijuelo had nothing to do all evening in the second half. Riberete made their chances count when it mattered.
For Riberete the points add to a growing body of evidence. They have been building momentum through this pre-season window, and a win on the road against a side that had held firm for so long changes the complexion of their preparations.
What the final figures mean is simple enough. Gijuelo's unbeaten run ends. Riberete extend theirs. The gap between them on the table, for now, is two points — and in these games the table goes out of the window.
