1-2: Better luck next time for UD Almería Women

The Rojiblancas were defeated by direct rivals at home, but remain out of the drop zone since Unión Viera Women lost their game.

UD Almería Women missed an excellent opportunity to distance themselves from the drop zone and involve another team in that race for safety. If the Rojiblancas had racked up a victory over CFF Albacete Women, they would have put themselves ahead of their rivals, making their presence known in the table. However, the girls from Almeria squandered big first-half chances and throughout the second period, they lost a game that was crucial. On a positive note, despite this tough defeat, UD Almería Women are still out of relegation.

Rojiblanca Jessi hit the woodwork on 7 minutes, what a shame! Then, Fátima booted emphatically following a good collective play but she missed the target. Next, it was CFF Albacete Women the ones who managed to put themselves in front within 40 minutes through a superbly-taken penalty.

In the second half, the Indalicas reacted and in the 48th minute, Paqui fired home the leveller. From this minute on, the match did not have a clear dominator, however, Miriam's goal was scored to break the deadlock and seal victory over the hosts.

The UD Almería girls went the extra mile until the full-time whistle, but could not tie the game eventually. Better luck next time.
