The visitors maintain a 100% winning record at the start of this Liga F Moeve campaign. Before kick-off, an emotional minute's silence was observed in memory of Valencia CF Femenino season ticket holders who passed away over the past year. Fifteen minutes into the match, Emilie Holt played a through ball into the path of Hasnath Ubamba, who unleashed a shot from inside the box to open the scoring at the Antonio Puchades. The second goal was nearly forged by Emilie Holt. The midfielder unleashed a left-footed strike that was deflected onto the post and out for a corner by the combination of Alice Pinguet and the woodwork. Meanwhile, Valencia CF had a chance to equalise through a fine effort from Salomé Prat inside the area, but Kate Taylor made a vital goal-line clearance to snuff out the danger from the home forward. The Madrid side kept pushing and looked to extend their lead.
Emilie Nautnes came close to capitalising on a superb through ball from Marina Rivas, but Alice Pinguet produced a magnificent one-handed save to turn the ball behind for a corner and neutralise the threat. After knocking on the door repeatedly, the second goal arrived before the break. A great pass from Sakina Ouzraoui was controlled by Marina Rivas inside the box. The midfielder brought the ball down and unleashed a powerful right-footed drive to double the advantage on the scoreboard. The final chance of the first half fell to Danielle Marcano, who tried her luck with a shot from the edge of the area, which Belén de Gracia gathered without any trouble to end the threat. After the restart, Mikel Crespo made a triple substitution, bringing on Rebecca Elloh, Carol Marín, and Gema Climent in search of turning the match around. The hosts continued to push in search of a goal.
The first opportunity of the second half went to Rebecca Elloh. The Ivorian forward tried her luck with a shot from inside the area, but Romane Lejeune denied the African forward. Meanwhile, Sánchez Vera brought on Mônica Hickmann and Alba Ruiz to counteract the home side's momentum. The standout performer of the match was Sakina Ouzraoui. The winger, who was named MVP of the match, used her pace to beat her marker and delivered a cross to the penalty spot, where Emilie Holt simply had to tap the ball into the back of the net to make it three. The goal was a heavy blow for Valencia, though they did not surrender despite conceding and continued to search for a way back into the game. Finally, in the dying seconds of the match, Romane Lejeune inadvertently turned the ball into her own net to seal the final 1-3 scoreline.
