Levante sealed their seventh consecutive Liga victory with a clear victory against an Athletic side outclassed from start to finish in today’s match at Lezama. Alba Redondo, Tatiana and Maya Rodríguez sealed the granota victory. A victory that, if not for the interventions of Quiñones, could have been due to a greater difference.
The lions gave the feeling of starting more connected and better than their rivals, but the strategy ended with the feeling of apparent superiority of the locals. Alba Redondo took advantage of a rehearsed corner kick to open the scoring with a cross shot from inside the local area just 13 minutes into the game. The goal ended Bilbao’s initial momentum.
Levante, with the advantage on the scoreboard, began to control the situation without much stress. Visiting superiority prevented the rojiblancas from approaching Tarazona’s domain. Quiñones, on the other hand, musters good interventions on shots from Maya Ramírez and Alba Redondo. Athletic’s attempts on goal before the break came with a high header from Bibi and a free-kick from outside the area from Mariana.
More wood
It remained waiting for the development of the second half to see if Athletic was capable of leveling the difference both on the scoreboard and at the level of the game. The lions came out ready to make it, but Tatiana almost ended their hopes by beating Quiñones’ mark again when they almost took seven minutes after the restart. Too much punishment for a team whose morale was affected after a loss against the lowest team the day before.
Iraia chose to change the system, bringing in Zubieta as a third centre-back to replace Sara Ortega and bringing in Oihane and Nerea Nevado, until then full-backs, as lanes. The tone of the meeting did not change.
Levante squandered a good number of chances to get into the third until Mayra Ramírez took her moment to close the scoring. The granotas approach the leader of Barça while the lions begin to complicate their lives.
