Levante gives Athletic a reality check

Reality bath for women’s Athletic in Buñol. The rojiblancas suffered their first league defeat of the season when they fell to a superior Levante until almost the last minutes of the match, when the team from Bilbao decided to take a step forward. Alba Redondo and Mayra Ramírez signed for the local goals, one in each half, with two headers amid a torrential downpour.

Granotas took control of the fight from almost a center kick. The rojiblancas, at least from the start, knew how to be strong at the back, but they lacked the ideas and resources at all times to project themselves dangerously in search of the goal defended by the young Tarazona. Levante, with the Colombian Mayra Ramírez as the main stiletto, knew at all times what he was playing.

Mariasun prevented the aforementioned Granota striker from opening the scoring for the first time. Alba Redondo also had his option in the middle of the first half. The first arrival with some danger by the lions did not happen until the 36th minute when Arana shot into the side of the net.

The local response was strong, as Alba Redondo immediately beat the red and white goal with an accurate header. Iraia’s men were ahead of them the entire second half to try to amend the flat. His coach’s first bet was to leave the very young Sara Ortega in the dugout during intermission to take the veteran Unzué in her place.

Far from getting better, the picture got worse a few minutes later, as Mayra Ramírez headed past Itxaso to score Levante’s second goal. The method of the rojiblanca, with everything lost, began to pull from the bench in search of solutions and even ended up changing its initial game system to finish the three central defenders. The decor of the match, amidst the relentless flow of water, changed only in the final minutes of the encounter when the lions seemed to react. First Amezaga and then Ohiane, with a cross that Azkona did not reach, forced the situations to reduce the distances, but the score did not move. Levante, by the way, have ten internationals in their ranks.
