Atlético Women Return to Victory with Jensen's Masterclass

Atlético de Madrid Women returned to winning ways at home with a great performance, led by Synne Jensen. The Norwegian forward was key to the Rojiblancas’ victory, opening the scoring after an excellent pass from Medina and assisting Silvia Lloris for the goal that sealed the match.

The match, played in Alcalá, showed a renewed Atleti with greater effectiveness in front of goal. The team led by Cristian Toro demonstrated solid organization from the start, although Valencia tried to put up a fight with a well-positioned defense.

However, the Rojiblancas, with Otermín leading the attack down the left wing, managed to impose their game and create opportunities. After Otermín’s unfortunate injury, Jensen took the reins of the match, demonstrating her quality with a beautiful goal, the product of a great team play.

Luany extended the lead with a superb goal before the break, a cross-shot that surprised the rival goalkeeper. In the second half, Atlético controlled the match and Gio was very active in the attack.

Silvia Lloris, taking advantage of the Rojiblancas’ superiority, joined the attack and scored a great goal from the edge of the area. Despite Valencia’s good game, Atleti took a well-deserved victory. The Colchoneras add three important points that reinforce their confidence and allow them to continue climbing positions in Liga F.

Alarm in Defense! Le Normand Suffers Another Blow

Alarms went off at the Metropolitano after Le Normand’s unfortunate blow during the match. The centre-back, in a play attempting to prevent Roberto’s shot, collided head-to-head with the opponent and had to be substituted.

This incident rekindles concern, as Le Normand suffered a traumatic brain injury with subdural hematoma in September, which kept him away from the pitch for two months.

After that hard blow in the derby, the player followed an exhaustive rehabilitation process, gradually resuming training and using a protective helmet to avoid new impacts. His return was highly celebrated by the Rojiblancos fans.

Le Normand’s substitution forced Giménez’s entry, who arrived after his participation with Uruguay. Le Normand’s evolution is now the main concern, and further tests are expected to determine the extent of the injury. The team is now preparing to receive Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, remembering the exciting 5-5 first leg.
