The Andalusian derby between Granada CF and Sevilla FC closed Saturday's matchday in Liga F Moeve. The first chance of the match fell to Fatou Kanteh. The Gambia international sped past her defender and unleashed a powerful shot that Laura Sánchez saved with a superb diving stop, sending the ball out for a corner. The Sevillian side continued to press with a cross into the box from Millaray Cortés, which Andrea Álvarez shot. The forward's effort crashed directly against the crossbar, to the relief of the visiting defence. Débora García also came close to scoring, but the right-back's shot went wide without troubling the opposition goal. Meanwhile, Granada CF also created danger, but couldn't find the opposition net or break the 0-0 deadlock by the end of the first half.
In the second half, the visiting side looked to push forward and came close to breaking the deadlock from a set-piece. A corner kick was eventually met by Andrea Gómez, whose shot went over the crossbar. Meanwhile, David Losada's team also sought a goal with two long-range shots. Débora García stole the ball in the opposition half and unleashed a shot that the young opposition goalkeeper held. Alba Cerrato also tried her luck with a shot that didn't trouble Laura Sánchez's goal. The forward entered the field of play to search for a goal. Meanwhile, Irene Ferreras also made changes, bringing on Cristina Postigo and Vera Molina. María Barquero and Miku also came on to strengthen the attack and midfield of the Nazarí side. The match remained incredibly even throughout the second half.
The match looked set to end in a draw, but in the 89th minute, a cross from the wing by Cristina Postigo was headed in by Manoly Baquerizo, sending the ball directly into the back of the net. The left-back was the MVP of the match. It was 0-1 on the scoreboard for Irene Ferreras's side, who broke Sevilla FC's resistance. The visitors could have sealed the win with a shot from Andrea Gómez from inside the box. The forward's shot crashed directly against the post before going completely wide, to the relief of the home side, who had one more chance. Chantal Hagel tried her luck with a shot that went wide. With this victory, Granada CF now have 38 points, just one behind the Sevillistas. The rojiblancas are having a magnificent season, with only one defeat in 2026.
