Match Report: VCF Femenino edge out SD Eibar as away winning run continues (0-1)

The opening quarter of an hour saw a high tempo at both ends with VCF Femenino dominating possession. Asun hit the side-netting on 12 minutes and then, Ana Marcos forced a save out of Malena. The third player to try her luck was Aguado who could not quite get on the end of a cross on 25 minutes.

The home side managed to shake off VCF Femenino’s dominance and tried to push forward. Albeit in the next move Bea Beltrán forced Malena into a double save from a free-kick on 38 minutes an three minutes later, Ana Marcos broke the deadlock on 41 minutes after getting on the end of a great Kerlly Real cross.

The first half finished 0-1 up for VCF Femenino.  

The opening 15 minutes of the second half played out with no significant incidents.

The first clear-cut chance fell to Aguado over the hour mark with a rebounded effort that Malena claimed easily. The home side kept on pushing as VCF Femenino showcased their discipline and positioning. Further Candela efforts on 70 and 74 tried to stretch the lead but they went begging.

VCF Femenino managed to hold out despite seeing a home side goal being ruled out for offside on 91 minutes. VCF came away with their second straight away win of the season after beating Santa Teresa CD by (0-1) on Matchday 29.
