Colchoneras Reaction: Fiamma Lights Up, Bitter Draw
Atlético de Madrid Women added another draw at home against Espanyol in a Liga F match that left mixed feelings. After a start to the match with Rojiblanco dominance, but without forcefulness in the definition, the Pericas took the lead with a goal from Carol Marín just before the break.
The goal froze the Metropolitano and forced Víctor Martín to react. After the break, the entry of Fiamma gave a new air to the Colchonero attack. The young player energized the midfield and generated the penalty play, transforming it herself with a powerful shot.
With the tie, Atlético sought the comeback insistently, but found a well-planted defense and a lack of aim in the final meters. Despite the effort and the arrivals of Lloris, Fiamma and Lauren Leal, the winning goal did not arrive.
The draw leaves Atlético with a bittersweet taste and the need to improve effectiveness in front of goal in the next matches. The team’s claw and fighting spirit are undeniable, but it is essential to transform chances into goals to climb positions in the table.
