First game, first victory

Last night, our women’s team showed off their attacking efficiency and secured victory by scoring three goals (by Chini, Cardona and Nahikari) against UDG Tenerife, who lost the first game of the season 2-3. Even if UDG performed well and got closer to Real in the final minutes of the match, Gonzalo Arconada’s squad stayed strong throughout one of the season’s most challenging games. All in all, it was an outstanding start that makes txuri urdin fans hopeful for final victory at Liga Iberdrola. The next challenge for the squad will be next week’s game against Málaga CF at Zubieta.
