Irene Ferreras' Granada CF continues their winning streak, having now secured seven victories in the nine matches played in 2026. Before the match kicked off, the youth team of the Nazarí club was presented with the Second Andalusian League trophy in the senior category. Additionally, a minute's silence was observed in memory of María Carmen Rodríguez Zurita, head of institutional relations for the Rojiblanco club. The Deportivo players attempted to control the game from the opening minutes, with the home side pressing high to disrupt their build-up play. The first chance of the game came from a shot by Paula Gutiérrez that went wide. As the minutes ticked by, the Andalusian side gained more ground, and Andrea Gómez came close to scoring, but the forward couldn't quite get on the end of the ball.
The game was evenly matched, and Laura Sánchez had to be alert to make a save from a cross into the box. Meanwhile, Sonya Keefe tried her luck with a wayward shot. The Chilean forward attempted again but couldn't connect with her header. Before the break, Laura Pérez persisted with a shot that narrowly missed the post, and later, a strike from inside the area was comfortably gathered by a secure Inês Pereira. At the end of the first forty-five minutes, the scoreboard read: 0-0. The second half started as the first had ended, with a fierce strike from Laura Pérez that went just inches wide. The home side continued to push, and Inês Pereira had to intervene again, tipping a powerful header from Andrea Gómez from close range over the bar for a corner.
Sonya Keefe also came close with a header that went wide. The response was a shot from Esperanza Pizarro that Laura Sánchez held securely. Vera Martínez tried her luck with a shot that went high, and with half an hour played, Fran Alonso made a substitution, bringing on Bárbara Latorre. The home team, who were creating the clearer chances, couldn't find the net. Manoly Baquerizo went close with a header, and Lauri Requena fired wide from the edge of the box. Just as it seemed the match would end in a draw, in the 90th minute, Cristina Postigo took a throw-in and found Andrea Gómez. The attacker delivered a cross into the box that surprised Inês Pereira, and Laura Pérez finished at the far post. The winger was the MVP of the match. Lía could have scored in added time, but Laura Sánchez preserved her team's victory.
