MADRID, 12 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This Thursday, Real Madrid Femenino certified their place in the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina after beating Fundación Albacete, from the First Federation, (0-6) in an attacking festival for the whites, while Athletic Club won (0-1) by the minimum against Madrid CFF in the last game of the round of 16.
The team led by Alberto Toril completed a great debut in the Cup after forcefully beating an inoffensive Albacete. After a somewhat hesitant start, with the locals defending their goal well, Nahikari and Rocío cleared up the doubts scoring the first two goals before the break.
After the restart, bad luck ended up taking over the Albacete team with Herrero’s own goal when he tried to clear after a penalty and, in the final minutes, again Rocío, Zornoza and Paula Partido finished off the rout. The whites have the opportunity to win a title in the Cup after their European elimination and their third position in the League, 8 points behind Barcelona.
In addition, Athletic Club also closed their round of 16 match with victory after a hard-fought victory against Madrid, thanks to a solitary goal by Clara Pinedo after a lack of understanding between the central Itzi and the goalkeeper Paola. The rojiblancas found themselves subdued during the second half, but they knew how to shoot ex officio to advance to the next round.
On Tuesday, Atlético de Madrid also achieved (0-2) their pass to the quarterfinals against Real Sociedad, thanks to a goal from Cardona and another from Ajibade, a differential on the counterattack. Meanwhile, Alhama also did the same against Levante (5-3) after a convulsive match from the stands due to the racist insults received by the ‘granota’ Mayra Ramírez, which forced the match to stop and even the entry of the Guard Civil to evict some fans from the José Kubala stadium in Murcia.
Finally, UDG Tenerife prevailed (0-4) in the chicharrero derby against Fundación Tenerife, from the Segunda Federación, thanks to an offensive festival by the ‘visitors’ who scored all four goals in the first half of the game.
