Villarreal, who drew in Bilbao, and Sporting Huelva, who won, will continue in the elite
MADRID, 20 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Deportivo Alavés Gloriosas and Alhama CF El Pozo drew this Saturday (1-1) in Ibaia on the thirtieth and last day of the Finetwork Liga F and sealed the relegation of both clubs, since Villarreal was saved after drawing with Athletic Club and Sporting Club Huelva beat Levante Las Planas to also confirm their permanence in the elite.
Key Saturday for the future of four clubs that were at stake to continue or not in the F League, among the best. Sporting de Huelva did their homework, with a victory at home against the Catalans Levante Las Planas with goals from Patri Ojeda, from a penalty, and from María Ruiz in just 22 minutes of play.
Like Sporting, it was worth it to add Villarreal since a hypothetical tie on points would leave the people from Castellón in the First Division. And they tied against Athletic Club (1-1), who took the lead through Sara Ortega as soon as the second half began, thanks to a saving goal from Fatou Kanteh on 72′. A golden point.
And it is that, on the other side of the coin, in the sourest flavor of the day, Deportivo Alavés Gloriosas and Alhama CF El Pozo –who did not depend on themselves– tied (1-1) and, with that distribution of points, neither one nor the other could reach the objective of salvation.
Alhama took the lead in the first half thanks to a goal by Raquel Pinel. Result that, at that time, gave permanence to the Murcians due to the provisional defeat of Villarreal. But the tie for the ‘groguetas’ and Camila Sáez’s goal for Alavés, at minute 84, left no one happy and consummated the relegation of both teams.
The penalty at the José Luis Compañón Sports City was shared. In the end, Alavés and Sporting de Huelva finished this 2022/23 F League with 21 points, compared to 23 for Villarreal and 25 for Sporting Club Huelva.
Earlier, on Friday, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid CF Femenino drew (1-1) in Zubieta, in a duel in which the people from San Sebastian said goodbye to a bad year scoring and the whites let slip the full victory in the stretch end of campaign
Sevilla also said goodbye to this F League with a win against Valencia (2-0) and Atlético de Madrid thrashed Granadilla Tenerife (4-0) in the farewell to Virginia Torrecilla, who came off the bench to say goodbye, after announcing her leaving the club, his fans.
