Valencia win again

After claiming their first win of the season last weekend, Valencia made it back-to-back victories in their away clash against Deportivo A Coruña. Valencia were handed a numerical advantage when Michi Apóstol was sent off in the 16th minute. In the process of being tackled, the winger attempted to change direction, but she accidentally caught Sara Tamarit when she attempted to plant her foot on the ground, an action that ultimately resulted in her early dismissal.

Despite being a player light, Dépor forced Alice Pinguet into several saves before Marísa García won a penalty in first-half stoppage time. However, Olaya Rodríguez was unable to take the opportunity as she drilled her spot-kick against the outside of the post.

That miss ultimately proved to be costly as Valencia moved through the gears in the second half. Danielle Marcano broke the deadlock just past the hour mark, prodding the ball beyond Andrea Tarazona. Just ten minutes later, Yasmin Mrabet added the all-important second goal, glancing her header in from a near-post corner. As a result of the victory, basement side Valencia have now moved to within two points of safety.

Logroño rescue point in controversial draw

Isina put Logroño United in front against Sevilla on Sunday. The forward fired an unstoppable long-range free-kick beyond the despairing dive of Esther Sullastres. Isina’s effort sent the hosts into the break with a narrow lead, which was cancelled out by Alba López’s 65th-minute strike. Latching onto Xenia Barrios’s inviting layoff, the 21-year-old drilled the ball in from the edge of the box.

Moments later, Rosa Márquez was gifted the chance to swing the game completely in Sevilla’s favour. Stealing possession from María Miralles’s poor pass out, Márquez stroked the ball home to net her third league goal of the season.

However, Sevilla were denied the win by Marta Masferrer Cruz’s controversial 90th-minute equaliser. The goal was disallowed after one review before another trip to the monitor resulted in the decision being overturned. Sevilla felt Sullastres put two hands on the ball when Marta slid in before rolling it into the awaiting net.

As a result of the draw, Sevilla finished the weekend in 13th position, level on 10 points with their 12th-placed opponents.

Atleti net three second-half goals

Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid cruised past Badalona via a 3-0 scoreline at the weekend. All three goals arrived after the hour mark, beginning with Synne Jensen’s effort from close range after a slick team move. Viola Calligaris then made it two before substitute Kathrine Kuhl netted her first Liga F goal in the closing stages.

Real Sociedad, Espanyol claim narrow wins

Elsewhere, Ainhoa Marín required just two minutes to put Real Sociedad ahead in their away clash with Eibar. However, La Real soon saw their lead disappear after Iraia Soroa was penalised for a handball infringement. Sara Martín calmly dispatched her penalty to score in back-to-back games. Martín’s spot-kick put Eibar on course for a useful point until a 95th-minute own goal handed Real Sociedad the win. Aitana Zumárraga inadvertently diverted the ball into her own net as she attempted to prevent her former Eibar teammate Camino from getting on the end of a fizzing cross.

Paula Gutiérrez’s first-half penalty proved decisive in Espanyol’s away meeting with Granada. The 25-year-old drove home her powerful spot-kick after Daniela Miñambres was harshly penalised for a handball infringement. The penalty saw Espanyol clinch back-to-back Liga F victories for the first time since October 2025.
