Real Madrid Women managed a draw against DUX Logroño in their Liga F opener, thanks to a late goal from Danish striker Bruun. The match, which also marked the debut of new Real Madrid coach Pau, saw Logroño put up a strong fight.
Logroño's Solid Start
Logroño, playing at home, started strongly and made it difficult for Real Madrid to play their usual game. Their five-defender formation, with Valderas and Leitner on the wings, proved effective in containing Real Madrid's attack. Leitner had the first shot of the game, although it went wide.
Real Madrid's Quality Shines Through
Despite Logroño's strong defense, Real Madrid's quality eventually shone through. After a corner from Weir, Méndez found the back of the net with a left-footed shot from Athenea. This gave Real Madrid the lead, but Logroño didn't give up.
Quesada's Double Threat
Quesada proved to be a real threat for Logroño, scoring twice to put her team ahead. However, Bruun's late goal ensured that Real Madrid would take a point from the match. The game also saw debuts for Frohms, Holmgaard and Irune Dorado for Real Madrid.
New Signings Debut
- Frohms started in goal, ahead of Misa.
