One step away from the final! Atleti Women shine in Granada
Atlético de Madrid Women have taken a commanding step towards the Copa de la Reina final, defeating Granada away in a thrilling semi-final first leg. With a final score of 0-2, the Rojiblancas are close to the grand final, but they will have to confirm it in the return leg in Alcalá de Henares.
Despite a difficult start, where Granada’s pressure hindered Atleti’s game, the team was able to recover and show their determination. Silvia Lloris opened the scoring with a header after a masterful corner kick from Rosa Otermin, unleashing joy in the Colchonero fans.
The goal, although protested by the locals, was validated by the referee. In the second half, Granada tried to equalize the match, but Lola Gallardo, with great interventions, proved impenetrable under the sticks.
Atleti, taking advantage of the spaces, sealed the match with a great goal from Gio, who after a great individual play scored a spectacular goal. Although Lauren Leal missed a penalty that could have widened the lead, the team returns to Madrid with a valuable victory and the intact hope of playing in the Copa de la Reina final. Keep fighting, Atleti!
