UD Almería Women secured a share of the points with Cádiz CF Women at the Emilio Campra Youth Stadium thanks to a last-gasp equaliser. The Indálicas, who had won their previous 3 home games, were unable to maintain their strength at home on this occasion, although the point was achieved in injury time, so it must be valued.

As for the match, it was a tense affair with plenty of end-to-end activity. Cádiz CF Women put themselves in front in the 85th minute, so everything seemed that the match would end with the result of 0-1, but their determination and grit meant that Marta Villalba scored the leveller from the bench
