Puente-Genil secured a 28:23 victory over Aguas-Santas in a club friendly on Thursday evening. The match took place on 2026-08-07 and offered both sides a chance to test themselves ahead of the new season. Neither side had much to play for in terms of standings — this was purely preparation.
The home side took control early and never really looked back. To be fair, both teams had been struggling before this encounter. Puente-Genil had dropped points against Morraso Cangas and Valladolid in their last outings, while Aguas-Santas had lost every one of their five previous matches, including heavy defeats to Porto and Benfica.
And here's the thing — you don't need a minute-by-minute breakdown to see what happened. The scoreline tells you enough. The hosts worked the channels, punished the visitors from set pieces, and by then had the game won inside twenty minutes. Aguas-Santas simply could not match the intensity, especially in the second half when Puente-Genil raised their tempo.
Looking at the recent form, this result gives Puente-Genil something to build on. They had been inconsistent, drawing with Orihuela Alicante and losing to La Rioja, but a win like this against a side that has not tasted victory in months is a confidence boost. Aguas-Santas have a lot of work to do — five straight losses is not a foundation to stand on.
The final margin of five goals reflects the gap in momentum. Puente-Genil finished with 28 goals against 23, which is respectable for a friendly. By then, the result was never really in doubt.
