The home side enjoyed the first meaningful chance of the game on 17 minutes. Esther pulled off a sensational save to turn the ball behind for a corner kick. The game saw a quiet spell until over the half-hour mark when Sheila had further efforts off target for Villarreal CF.  

Marta Carro almost got on the end of a free-kick and then Candela tried her luck with a long-range effort.  

The first half finished scoreless with nothing to separate the sides at half-time.

VCF Femenino had a strong start to the game through an Altuve drive inside the six-yard box which was turned away by Elena.  Marta Carro had a goal disallowed on the hour mark for a foul after an attacking corner kick. 

Both sides kept on pushing for the opening goal which came about with little over 10º minutes of normal time plus stoppage time left to go.

Asun charged down the flank, rattled the crossbar and the ball came back off the bar and it kindly fell to substitute Olga who had just run out onto the pitch a few minutes ago. She turned the ball into the back of the net to get off the mark for VCF Femenino.    

Candela rounded off the scoreline by blowing off the cobwebs on 87 minutes. VCF Femenino claimed a long-awaited win in the regional derby away at Villarreal CF to climb up the table into 12th place and into double figures on 11 points.
