Athletic Club Women lost 2-0 away to Valencia CF in their Primera Iberdrola Matchday Four fixture. The Lionesses team, despite having many chances, failed to score in Paterna or respond to the goal they conceded in the early stages of the match.

In the first minutes of the match, Athletic played a well elaborated game accompanied by a good pressure on the Valencian side. After a good move down the right Maite Oroz had a chance in the 15th minute but her shot went wide.

However, despite the initial good feeling, Valencia CF managed to take the lead two minutes later through Carol, who got in front of Andrea de la Nava thanks to a great pass from Mari Paz. At times it looked like the Lionesses were feeling the blow, but they soon recovered to take control of the game until the break.

In the second half, with Azkona on the pitch, she dribbled in and her shot was pushed away by Vreugdenhil for a corner. Shortly after came Oroz’s poisoned cross. The second half was played almost entirely in the opposition half with Valencia CF carrying the danger in quick transitions with Coleman as the focal point. Damaris had a header in the 55th minute.

The duel became a beautiful spectacle with the Red and Whites going close to the goal and Valencia coming out fast on the counter. Irene Ferreras’ side suffered and were rewarded with Coleman’s 88th minute strike to make it 2-0 on a counter-attack.

Great work from Athletic Club who continue to leave a good feeling on the pitch. Next Sunday, Lezama will witness the next match against Deportivo Abanca at 16.00.
