Deportivo Femenino secured their first victory of the season. The Galician side started the match better, looking to claim all three points from the outset. Nine minutes in, a cross from Olaya Rodríguez was met by Millene Cabral with an acrobatic finish at the far post. The ball sailed past Laura Sánchez's outstretched dive and nestled directly into the back of the net to become the match's opening goal. The home side found some encouragement through Naiara Sanmartín, while Olaya Rodríguez tried her luck again with a direct free-kick that went over the bar. Inês Pereira was imperious between the sticks, and close to the half-hour mark, a stolen ball led to a pass from Redru to Lucía Rivas. The attacker played a pass back, where Millene Cabral sent the ball directly into the back of the net to make it two.
The Brazilian forward, who scored a brace, was named MVP of the match. Granada CF appealed for a possible penalty in their opponent's box, but the referee did not award it. The Galician side continued to search for more goals through Lucía Pardo, but the Nazari defence proved imperious at the back. From a set-piece, Leles Carrión tried a free-kick, but once again, a confident Inês Pereira punched the ball clear. After the restart, Miku Kojima and Raquel Gil entered the field for the Andalusian team in search of a reaction. Indeed, the first chance of the second half was a shot from Bárbara López who tried to surprise, but the ball went wide. Jujuba also tried her luck with a high header. The home side continued to make changes from the bench with the introduction of Mireya Zafra to generate more firepower in the final third, but Adrián Martín's team could not overcome an imperious Deportivo Femenino defence.
With ten minutes remaining, the home coach brought on academy player Ainhoa Perojil and gave a debut to Mexican Gabriela Álvarez, who played her first minutes as a footballer for the Nazari side. Laura Sánchez kept the contest open, and the home side continued to try, but their hopes of securing a positive result faded in the final stages of the match. Michi Apóstol threaded a pass behind the opposing defence, where Sofía Domínguez rounded the Andalusian club's goalkeeper and sent the ball directly into the back of the net to make it 0-3 on the scoreboard. Granada CF appealed for a possible penalty which the referee did not award, and the score did not change again. The Galician side took all three points to secure their first victory of the season, placing them in 11th position in the league table with 4 points, surpassing their opponents, who have 3 points to their name.
