Villarreal Women Lose but other Femenino sides do well

Villarreal Women A travelled to Granada for a match you could say it’s worth six points. After eight consecutive matches getting points, this loss puts you at a halt. Sanjuan (GK), Palo, Sheila, Aixa Salvador, Naiara, Salma, Celia, Bea Prades, Cristina Diaz, Sara Medina and Lara Mata started the match with Pau (GK), Marieta, Nazaret, Laura Royo, Jessi, Iris Dominguez and Clara waiting for an opportunity at the bench.

The first half was for Granada where they were more dominant and through it they got their goal. The defenders didn’t clear out the ball and Lauri Requena capitalized on that to put Granada ahead. The second half got a more uncontrolled and Villarreal started to dominate more without luck, having at least four good chances to tie the game from the boots of Salma and Cristina Diaz specially, but Granada also had one good occassion at the start of the second half and a one on one against the goalkeeper

With this loss, Villarreal is ten points behind the leader. But let’s not forget they have also one match postponed, the one against Collerense, bottom team, scheduled for March 5.

With this, Vera Rico puts herself as high scorer for the B side with seven goals and Thais Martinez scored her third goal of the season

With the win, and Levante C win against Levante C, Villarreal B is three points ahead the relegation spots.
