The Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium played host to one of the standout fixtures of the weekend. The first chance of the match arrived inside three minutes. Schröder tried her luck with a good shot that was kept out by Noelia Ramos. The visitors replied through Paulina Gramaglia, but Frohms gathered the forward's header. The Madrid side went close with a fine effort from Linda Caicedo, which was parried away by the Tenerife goalkeeper. Real Madrid CF continued to push as Schröder unleashed another shot, which the opposition keeper safely claimed. Twenty minutes into the match, the referee pointed to the spot for a foul by Lakrar on Paulina Gramaglia, who made no mistake from eleven metres out to make it 0-1. A cold shower for the home side.
The madridistas kept pushing, although lacking precision in the final third. One of the clearest chances of the first half fell to Sara Däbritz. The German midfielder collected a loose ball inside the box and unleashed a powerful strike that sailed inches past the post to the relief of Noelia Ramos. Real Madrid CF continued to search for an equaliser through Linda Caicedo, but the Canary Islands backline stood firm. Elba Vergés had a chance with a header that sailed well wide. The final opportunity of the first half went to Sara Däbritz, whose thunderous direct free-kick was safely collected by Noelia Ramos to snuff out the danger and ensure the visitors went into the break ahead.
After the restart, Beerensteyn and Silvia Cristóbal entered the pitch for the home side. Indeed, the defender went close with a header that cleared the crossbar. In the 53rd minute, a brilliant corner delivery from Zamanian was met by Natalia Padilla with a flawless volley that caught Frohms by surprise to double the advantage. Just five minutes later, the hosts pulled one back. Schröder, who had already been knocking on the door, threaded a pass through to Keukelaar. The winger delivered a cross to the back post, which Beerensteyn turned into the back of the net. Bruun and Athenea came on for the hosts, while Linda Caicedo tried her luck with a shot that struck the opposition defence, and Athenea also sought out a goal with an effort that was blocked by a defender.
Pau Quesada's side kept applying pressure. Eva Navarro tried her luck with a cross-shot gathered by Noelia Ramos, and it was a delivery from the player from Yecla that was ultimately turned in by Schröder to level the score. And just minutes later, pandemonium broke out on the Whites' bench. A shot from Linda Caicedo, who was named Player of the Match, was parried by Noelia Ramos. The rebound fell to Bruun, who bundled the ball home to make it 3-2 on her return to Liga F Moeve after more than eight months out. In stoppage time, the merengue side appealed for a penalty, while Costa Adeje Tenerife could only muster a late charge from Natalia Padilla, who failed to reach the ball as victory ultimately went to the hosts.
