La Real lost against Real Betis 4-0. The locals were more effective and that gave them the win.
Real Betis started strong and scored the first goal at minute 8. The txuri-urdin players were not discouraged and were close to the opponents goal. When our girls were playing at their full potential, the local player Irene scored the second goal. The only solution was to come up with the goal that would meet both of the teams differences and put the team back in the game.
Just a couple of minutes after the second half started, Real Betis scored the third goal, which made it more difficult to the girls from Guipúzcoa.
Sandra´s far post shot at minute 82 was close to be the first goal of the away team. A few minutes after, the locals scored the fourth and final goal. The changes were good for the team but were not enough to change the scoreboard.
Next week, there will be no Liga due to the international break. In two weeks time, la Real will welcome Sevilla at Zubieta and will try to get the first points of the season.

Juanjo Arregi: “The most important thing is to recuperate the players energy”
This was Juanjo Arregi´s post game reaction: “What we must do before the next game is to recuperate the players energy, that is the most important thing. There was a good play but we had some tactical problems. It is a shame that we didn’t score a goal that put us back in the game”.
