2-1: UD Almería Women close to springing big surprise away to Betis Women 'B'

The Rojiblancas took the lead in the opening half, but in the second the Béticas came back despite the opposition from the guests, who were close to levelling things up after letting the second goal in

UD Almería Women were about to spring the big surprise against Betis Balompié Women 'B' at the Rafael Gordillo Sports Complex. Nobody had beaten the Béticas there, placed in automatic promotion positions, yet the Rojiblancas, as they already did away to table pacesetters Sport Extremadura, put in a great display that almost paid off. 
 
The UD Almeria Women girls had an excellent approach, keeping their rivals at bay, something that is not easy at all if we take into account that they are the top scorer in the league with more than 70 goals now that the second return fixture has been completed. Apart from controlling the opponents, UD Almería Women were practical and effective taking advantage of their attacks with the ball. In the 18th minute, a good attack was completed by Carla at the far post after a fine cross from Paqui from the wing. The Indálicas had already warned previously with another opportunity.
 
With the result of 0-1, the break was reached. At the restart, the girls from Almería knew that the Béticas would come out all out and they had to do a great job to remain in the lead. Despite the attempt, it was impossible due to the potential of the Sevillian outfit, who tied within 56 minutes, and shortly after, in the 66th minute, they turned the encounter around. 
 
UD Almería Women, far from sinking, continued to pluck up the courage and were close to levelling things up. The women of the UDA Foundation continue to be in the top positions, being on the lookout for promotion play-off places.
