Málaga CF Femenino was defeated by the minimum (1-0) against Rayo Vallecano Femenino in a game in which the Blue and White team was superior, but was however, was not successful in getting a goal.
The Malaguista squad, with greater concentration on the pitch of the Ciudad Deportiva, dominated the possession of the ball during the first minutes of the game. They moved to approach the goal defended by Alicia, but ultimately was unable to convert. A shot from Dominika in the 15thminute gave a warning to the Rayistas, but the match was tempered. The locals approached the Blue and White goal, but Chelsea defended without an issue. Nearly at half time, Domnika, once again, broke through from the Vallecas defense, but without reward. The equality of the teams was reflected in the 0-0 with which the first half of the match drew to a close.
After the break, the Blue and White team came out even more active. As soon as it started, Adriana’s direct-hit shot grazed Rayo's crossbar and two minutes later Misa also had the opportunity to open the scoring. Contreras moved the bench and gave minutes to Minori to replace Maria R. (66 ') and in 71' Celia replaced Misa. The entrance of the Canary Island-born player resulted in the ball hitting the post, frightening the Rayo keeper. Bad luck dogged Málaga and in minute 79 Iris shot a cross that left Chelsea without options (1-0) But far from giving up, the Malaguistas continued to fight on and nearly at the end, a shot by Leti almost gave the Malaga team success, but missed out on this by just few centimetres.
