Agonizing Draw: Atlético Women Yield Ground
A match that promised much in Buñol ended with a bittersweet taste for Atlético de Madrid. The Colchoneras, with a revamped starting eleven that included Sheila Guijarro and Ana Vitória, quickly took the lead with goals from Fiamma and Ana Vitória, showing a dominance that excited the Rojiblanca fans.
However, Levante, fighting for survival, did not give up and took every opportunity to trouble Lola Gallardo’s goal. The two-goal lead seemed consolidated, but Levante’s grit, coupled with occasional errors, allowed Chacón to narrow the gap before halftime.
In the second half, despite Atlético’s attempts to control the game with strategic changes, a penalty converted by Sosa leveled the score, leaving the Metropolitano with their hearts in their mouths. Luany had the winning goal in the last gasp, but the draw persisted.
This result leaves Atlético with their tenth draw in Liga F and with Athletic Club hot on their heels in the fight for Champions League qualification. The next match is presented as an anticipated final, where the Rojiblancas must prove their worth to secure their place in the top European competition.
