The Heliodoro Rodríguez López hosted Sunday's opening fixture in Liga F Moeve. Both sides took to the pitch with the clear intention of claiming all three points. Gemma Gili had the first chance with an acrobatic effort that missed the target. During that passage of play, the referee blew for a handball by Bárbara Martínez inside the area. Fatou Kanteh stepped up to take the penalty, but Noelia Ramos guessed correctly to deny the Gambia international and keep the scores level. At the other end, Paulina Gramaglia came close with a header that sailed over the bar. On the half-hour mark, the referee pointed to the spot following a challenge by Raquel Morcillo on Bárbara Martínez inside the box. Natalia Padilla assumed responsibility from twelve yards, but Sullastres pulled off a brilliant save to prevent a goal. However, the Sevilla joy was short-lived as the hosts broke the deadlock in the very next play.
A great cross from the flank by Bárbara Martínez was turned home from inside the area by Natalia Padilla to beat Sullastres. Despite conceding, the visitors refused to give up, and Fatou Kanteh—named MVP of the match—took just ten minutes to capitalise on a defensive error by Cinta Rodríguez, rounding Noelia Ramos to score. Sevilla FC restored parity on the scoreboard. Before the break, Aithiara Carballo tried her luck with a long-range strike, but it was Raquel Morcillo who unleashed a powerful right-footed effort straight into the back of the net to put her side ahead just before half-time. Following the interval, Yerai Martín brought on Alba Pérez for Cinta Rodríguez. The hosts threatened from set-pieces, but Sullastres remained imperious between the posts, comfortably claiming a dangerous delivery into the heart of the box. The Tenerife outfit controlled the match, yet struggled to find a way through for an equaliser.
Meanwhile, Sevilla FC looked very comfortable on the pitch, withstanding their opponents' attacks and waiting to strike on the counter-attack. The minutes ticked away at the Heliodoro without any clear-cut chances, and Yerai Martín introduced Carlota Suárez and Iratxe Pérez as his final attacking options. With twelve minutes remaining and the hosts throwing everything forward, Sandra Castelló played a superb defence-splitting pass behind the local backline, allowing Esther Martín-Pozuelo to latch onto the ball and beat Noelia Ramos with a fine finish into the back of the net to wrap up a 1-3 victory. Costa Adeje Tenerife tried to respond to the goal with an Annahita Zamanian shot that flew over the bar. Yerai Martín's side also appealed for a potential penalty that was waved away by the referee, while Jassina Blom made her return following a serious injury. The final whistle confirmed the away win.
