Real Madrid are struggling to claim victory against Athletic

Athletic suffered their third consecutive league defeat against Real Madrid. The meringues, despite everything, ended up asking for time against a rojiblanco team that even with 2-0 against stopped looking for a tie until the very last whistle. There are many opportunities for women from Bilbao to achieve this.

The whites knew how to swim and put away their clothes. Iraia’s, on the other hand, got better within minutes. A 2-0 defeat in the 65th minute seemed certain, but the lions, far from collapsing, reacted immediately. Jone Amezaga, who followed the same evolution as the rest of the team, from less to more as time went by, made it 2-1 a minute later and Athletic arrived.

Valdezate, Oihane and Pinedo had their respective occasions to seal the draw, but the locals knew how to defend their advantage without stopping in search of a verdict. However, the marker never moved again. This new defeat comes to complicate the qualifying panorama a little more for an Athletic that is gradually moving away from the upper zone to be dangerously close to the bottom.

Yulema, holder

Iraia faces this visit to the Madrid fortress with some new things in his starting squad. The rojiblanca coach this time chose Landaluze as a winger with Oihane up front completing the right wing. Yulema Corres, for his part, re-entered the starting eleven a few hours later. The departure of the lions surprised a Madrid with a defense with three central defenders and two lines. Oihane would have opened the scoring in the first substitution in an action that was solved by Misa.

Gradually, the whites took possession of the ball and the situation and began to create danger in front of Quiñones’ frame. Esther, after a rebound from the Athletic goalkeeper from a close shot by Toletti, opened the scoring in the 27th minute. The rojiblancas did not reappear in attack until the second half.

Yulema had a chance to equalize, but Feller made it 2-0. Jone Amezaga, who had a bit of luck with the final shot, reduced the gap immediately, but the Bilbaons did not react well enough.
