At last. Athletic women have broken their league slump with a comfortable victory against Espanyol in Lezama. The rojiblancas accumulated eleven games without winning, with seven defeats and four draws. The game lost to Real Sociedad caused the dismissal of Angel
Villacampa and its relief by Iraia
Iturregi. With the new coach, the team lost to Eibar (0-1) and drew in the visit to Santa Teresa. The next two games, against Barça and Betis, were postponed due to the quarantine that part of the squad had to pass due to the positive of Ainhoa Moraza.
Today the dynamic has changed in the first triumph of the former player at the head of the team. And he did it with a landslide after a good first half by the local side. The lionesses have gone to rest with 3-0 on the scoreboard, thanks to the double of Ogiza, which in this way has debuted as a scorer in the first team, and Nekane, with his first target of the season.
The midfielder opened the scoring in the 8th minute after a short corner kick, passed to the area, shot from Gimbert that the one from Durango, in the same goal mouth, has introduced in the networks at the turn.
Nekane, who in the 15th minute had starred in a powerful shot, has extended the advantage on the scoreboard with his left foot after taking advantage of the rejection of Quesada at the launch of Monente.
At half an hour, Ogiza has scored the third after finishing a corner with a backward header. Thus ended the first forty-five minutes, of clear local dominance.
The game was even in the first bars of the second half. The referee annulled a goal from Anaïr offside and subsequently, the engagement has run without clear occasions until Martinez Martinez the final whistled, with a much-needed victory for the rojiblancas.
