The opening minutes were a head-to-head duel, with both teams testing each other and trying to assert their dominance. Levante UD, which threatened three consecutive times from a corner kick, gradually gained presence in the offensive area, especially from the right flank. From that side, N. Escoms made an attempt, but the ball deflected off an opposing player and the goalkeeper caught it without difficulty.

 

Shortly after, Sanadri, who throughout the match was relentless in her efforts to find the back of the net, controlled a high ball, but a defender intervened before she could shoot. The goal was imminent. And it finally came through Dana, who scored her first goal for Levante UD. N. Escoms passed the ball back to the midfielder from Madrid, who outmaneuvered her opponent with a dribble and struck a left-footed shot straight into the net, leaving the Sport Extremadura goalkeeper with no chance. 

 

Levante UD sought a second goal. Sanadri had several consecutive chances, though without success, while Daniela Luque tried her luck with a long-range shot that went wide. At the other end, in the 18th minute, the ball rolled in front of Erika, but it was ten minutes later when the visitors managed to equalize the match with a set-piece play.

 

The goal gave wings to the Extremadura side, which began to trouble the home team. The match was not only tied on the scoreboard but also in gameplay, chances, and the intensity with which both teams competed. However, Inés Rizo put Levante UD back in the lead just before halftime. The '11' player for Levante struck a shot that deflected off an opposing defender. The Sport Extremadura goalkeeper failed to block the ball properly, and the sharpest player on the field, Inés Rizo, capitalized on the opportunity to make it 2-1 on the scoreboard.

 

After the restart, Levante UD once again took control and created a good number of chances, though they were unable to extend their lead. Erika was solid in goal, both in aerial balls and with her feet. The Levante defense also responded effectively and managed to regroup against a quick transition orchestrated by the Extremadura team.

 

In the final stretch of the match, the Levante team persistently threatened the opposing area: first, Inés found N. Escoms on the edge of the box, and the midfielder struck a left-footed shot that grazed the right post; Parce was very active with crosses from the flanks, looking to create danger from the sides. Sanadri managed to score, but the goal was disallowed for offside. In the dying moments, Gabaldón tried to change the score again with a right-footed shot from the edge of the box, but the result remained unchanged. The Levante team held on until the end to secure a hard-fought victory and earn three valuable points.

 

Levante UD Femenino's next match will be the Second Round of the Copa de la Reina against Alhama CF on Wednesday, September 30, in a game to be played at the Buñol Sports City at 6:00 PM.
