Agonising finale leaves a bitter taste in Alcalá | OneFootball

The Atletico Madrid Women's team and the Athletic Club Women's team signed a draw in Alcalá de Henares after a thrilling end to the match, with two goals in the last minutes and several chances in overtime, but the scoreboard remained equal.

The Madrid team, which has four wins and two draws, was the favorite and proved it from the start. In the first quarter of an hour, they hit the post twice, once by Andrea Medina and once by Synne Jensen. As the minutes passed, the pace slowed and the Athletic Women's team held up well, waiting for their counterattack opportunity. But the Bilbao team also failed to beat Lola Gallardo. And with the initial 0-0, the match referee signaled the way to the locker room.

Atletico Women dominated, but Athletic managed to draw in the end

In the second half, the Atletico Women's team continued to control the ball, but without creating clear danger on the Athletic goal. A shot from Gaby grazing the post was the warning before the 1-0, which came in the 86th minute, after a good cross from Andrea Medina, who has started the season with merits to be selected for Spain in the next international break. That ball that the red and white side put in was brushed by Gio Queiroz, although it was not on target but Lauren Leal took advantage of the visiting defense's distraction to achieve the 1-0.

And although everything seemed headed for victory, just two minutes later, Amezaga signed the draw for Athletic. All in a cross from the right that, Amezaga finished alone, embedded between the center-backs and on the edge of the small area, to beat Lola Gallardo. A goal that invalidated all the red and white effort, although the Atletico Madrid Women's team still grazed victory in overtime, but a new shot from Andrea Medina hit the crossbar in the last action of the match.

The Atletico Women's team remains, despite the draw against Athletic, second in the Women's League, with 14 points out of a possible 18 and four behind the leader, Barcelona. The Blaugranas will be the next league opponent, but before, the team of Víctor Martín will debut in the Champions League against St. Pölten.
