It has been 15 years since the first match in which Erika Vazquez managed to score four goals in one clash; she made it again, three more times

Erika Vazquez is the red-and-white top scorer with 260 goals. Impressive figures that she has reached in the 15 seasons she has been playing for Athletic Club. To reach those numbers you have to have quality plase, a taste for goal and a great dose of ambition. That is why she has never settled with doubles or hat tricks (up to 14 has achieved). Erika Vazquez has managed to score four goals on four occasions. The poker queen.

Today, it has been precisely 15 years since the first pounding was made, just a year after her debut with the red-and-white t-shirt. It was in Pozuelo, during a 0-5 victory against the team from Madrid. The midfielder opened the scoring from the penalty spot and then scored another three goals in the second half.

During the season 2013-2014, Erika showed her potential once again, this time against Levante La Plana, a match played in Lezama as well.
