1-1: UD Almería Women earn first point of season away to Real Betis Women

The Rojiblancas took the lead but were pegged back shortly afterwards. Results elsewhere have left them further adrift of the safety zone

UD Almería Women earned their first point of the season by surprising Real Betis Balompié, one of the promotion contenders occupying the upper reaches of the table. However, despite this positive result, the gap to safety has increased to 5 points following Cáceres Atlético's victory over CD Guiniguada Apolinario in the Canary Islands. Nevertheless, the draw offers grounds for optimism, with the Indálicas now set to play 2 consecutive home matches against opponents in the lower half of the table.

The Rojiblancas needed a turning point after 6 consecutive defeats, particularly as their performances had deserved better results. And what better way to get back on track than by taking points off one of the division's leading sides? They managed to do just that, although there was still more to be done. The team showed they can compete in Group IIi of the women's tier Segunda RFEF.

Clara put UD Almería Women ahead after just 3 minutes, although their joy was short-lived, as Real Betis Women equalised a quarter of an hour later. Even so, the Rojiblancas showed great resilience and above all, put in an excellent defensive performance to withstand their opponents' sustained pressure. In doing so, they secured their first point of the season.
