Before kick-off, a minute's silence was observed in memory of Cristina Sancho García, mother of a Valencia CF youth player. Costa Adeje Tenerife came out on top in this clash between two sides searching for their first win of the season. It was tightly contested during the opening exchanges, though Valencia CF had more control of the ball. Violeta Quiles created the first chance with a cross-shot that sailed wide. Fifteen minutes in, Nay Cáceres denied WIFI, and moments later, Elba Vergés cleared Gema Climent's goal-bound effort off the line. At the other end, Noelia Salazar tried her luck from distance, but Alice Pinguet gathered comfortably.

Both teams probed in attack, and Natalia Padilla had a golden opportunity, but her shot missed the target. Tenerife's clearest chance of the first half came from a header by Pola that crashed against the woodwork, much to the relief of the hosts. Valencia CF tried to respond with a header from Carol Marín that flew over the bar, while Rebecca Elloh looked to use her pace down the flank. Indeed, the Ivorian forward tried her luck with a strike from the edge of the area that drifted wide. The first half ended with the hosts pressing high up the pitch, yet unable to find a way past Nay Cáceres. The scoreboard remained goalless at the break, leaving everything to play for in the second forty-five minutes.



The second half followed the same script as the first. Danielle Marcano posed a constant threat, and Nay Cáceres gathered a dangerous cross-shot from Sara Tamarit in two attempts. The best chance fell to WIFI, whose header from Pauleta Sancho's inviting delivery to the near post struck the crossbar. With half an hour remaining, just as Valencia CF were committing numbers forward, Noelia Salazar regained possession in midfield and picked out Aleksandra Zaremba. Zaremba delivered a pinpoint cross to the back post, allowing Natalia Padilla—who was named Player of the Match—to head home and break the deadlock. The hosts looked for an immediate response after winning a penalty following a foul by Elba Vergés on Danielle Marcano. Carol Marín stepped up, hit the post, and scored from the rebound, but the goal was disallowed as the midfielder could not legally touch the ball a second time before anyone else.

The home manager introduced Salomé Prat and Débora García in search of an equaliser. Valencia CF appealed for a potential red card for a challenge on Henar Muiña, but the referee waved play on. Valencia's persistence finally paid off in the 89th minute when a delivery from Pauleta Sancho was headed by Nazareth Martín. The ball struck the crossbar and ricocheted in off the back of Nay Cáceres, sparking wild celebrations among the blanquinegro side. Far from settling for a draw, Valencia CF went all out for a winner. Nay Cáceres dealt with a cross from WIFI, but in the final minute, a ball recovered by Iratxe Pérez led to a cross from Marina Martí, allowing Carlota Suárez to turn and snatch a dramatic 1-2 victory.
