Liga F match-day 23 round-up: Barcelona hit seven as Real Sociedad edge closer to UWCL qualification | OneFootball

Barcelona maintained their 10-point lead at the top of the Liga F table with an emphatic 7-1 win over Athletic Club. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad edged closer to qualifying for UEFA Women’s Champions League football.

Real Madrid condemned Eibar to an eighth consecutive league defeat on Liga F match-day 23. Madrid continue to match their winning run with Barcelona’s but remain heavily adrift in this title race.

Here’s how the latest week of results unfolded.

Kika and Pina net braces in Barça victory

Barcelona made light work of their home meeting with Athletic. Salma Paralluelo opened the scoring at Estadi Johan Cruyff, shortly before Clàudia Pina made it 2-0 inside the opening 15 minutes. Carla Julià Martínez and Sydney Schertenleib then netted a goal apiece in the closing stages of the first half to effectively wrap up all three points before the interval.

Paralluelo played a pivotal role in Barcelona’s fifth goal of the evening. The forward showed great strength to hold off a couple of challenges before she wriggled out of a tight space and laid the ball off for Pina to drive home. Just over 10 minutes later, Daniela Agote got Athletic on the scoreboard, punishing Cata Coll for a loose pass.

The spotlight then fell on Kika Nazareth, who produced a stunning strike from the edge of the box to take Barça’s tally to six. The Portugal international then grabbed her second with the aid of a wicked deflection.

Real Madrid edge out Eibar

Second-placed Real Madrid saw off Eibar by a 1-0 scoreline to claim a sixth consecutive league victory. Rocío Gálvez scored what proved to be the game’s only goal in the 24th minute. The Real Madrid defender made a run to the near post to head in from Caroline Weir’s inswinging corner. Eibar thought they had squeezed the ball over the line in the final stages of the contest, but the referee opted to award a corner following a visit to the pitchside monitor. Las Blancas held on to claim their 15th clean sheet of the Liga F season.

Real Sociedad move closer to UWCL qualification

Real Sociedad remain comfortably on course for a third-place finish after they recorded a narrow win over Levante at the weekend. Klára Cahynová scored the decisive goal in the 52nd minute, steering the ball home from Aiara Agirrezabala’s cross. Levante ultimately failed to find a response as they fell to a fifth consecutive defeat, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table and two points adrift from safety. 

Fourth-placed Costa Adeje Tenerife remain eight points adrift of Real Sociedad after they edged out DUX Logroño on Sunday. Aleksandra Zaremba’s 22nd-minute strike proved enough to secure all three points in Logroño. The result represented the hosts’ fourth defeat in five games and leaves them hovering above the drop zone.

Atleti stage late turnaround on Liga F match-day 23

Alhama suffered late heartbreak in their home meeting with Copa de la Reina finalists Atlético Madrid. The relegation-threatened hosts were presented with the chance to break the deadlock in the 75th minute after Lauren was penalised for a clumsy challenge in the box. Estefa stepped up to dispatch the subsequent spot-kick, registering Alhama’s first league goal of 2026.

Unfortunately for the home side, Atleti quickly hit back through Fiamma’s tap-in. Alhama at least thought they had done enough to clinch a precious point, but those were cruelly dashed by Rosa Otermín’s late winner in the 11th minute of stoppage time. The attacker swept home a superb first-time finish from Macarena Portales’s dipping cross to fire her side to a fourth consecutive win in all competitions.

Five-star Badalona end Sevilla’s winning run

Meanwhile, Sevilla’s four-game winning run was brought to an abrupt end by a heavy 5-1 home defeat to Badalona. Itziar Pinillos netted a quickfire brace to establish a two-goal lead, before Fatou Kanteh pulled a goal back with a powerful effort. Sevilla went into the break with hopes of a second-half turnaround, but that was quickly quashed by Lice Chamorro, who netted in a second successive game to restore Badalona’s two-goal cushion. Paula Sánchez and Loreta Kullashi then grabbed a goal apiece in the closing stage to wrap up a resounding victory. The result has moved the Catalan side up to eighth spot and leaves Sevilla in fifth position.

A narrow win and a score draw

Granada looked set to play out a goalless draw in their home meeting with Deportivo La Coruña. That was until Laura Pérez snatched all three points with a 90th-minute winner. The 27-year-old bundled the ball in from a deep cross to net her sixth league goal of the season and clinch Granada’s fourth win in five matches (L1).

Elsewhere, Madrid CFF and Espanyol played out a 1-1 draw at the Estadio Fernando Torres. Both goals arrived inside the opening 30 minutes of Saturday’s encounter. Anita Marcos headed the hosts into a seventh-minute lead, before Phoenetia Browne tapped in from Ona Baradad’s squared pass to net her second goal in three games.

Did you know?

Granada have won seven of their nine Liga F games in 2026 (D1, L1), a signicant improvement from the three wins they recorded in their first 14 league matches of the season (D4, L7).

Best goal of Liga F match-day 23

Kika’s first goal is our standout effort of the weekend. The Barcelona star produced a finish of the highest order after latching onto a looping ball on the edge of the box. The volley combined the right mix of power and accuracy to whistle into the top corner.
