Saturday's matchday concluded at the Fernando Torres, where both teams looked to return to winning ways in Liga F Moeve. The first big chance of the match fell to Carmen Sobrón, but her shot went just wide of the post. Laia Parera also tried her luck with a cross that a confident Paola Ulloa collected without issue. At the other end, Emilie Holt had a shot that crashed directly against the woodwork, to the relief of the Vitoria-based team. The match was very open. Kumba Brima continued to create danger in attack, while Sánchez Vera's side had slightly more possession of the ball, though without managing to create clear goal-scoring opportunities.
After half an hour of play, Paola Ulloa made a magnificent save from a long ball played into the path of Kumba Brima, who still couldn't beat the home goalkeeper. Ainhoa Guallar also tried her luck with a forced shot that went directly out for a corner kick. However, the clearest chance of the first half fell to Sakina Ouzraoui, who unleashed a powerful strike from the edge of the box, but the attacker was met with a magnificent response from Sofía Fuente, who prevented the goal by tipping the ball behind for a corner. From that corner kick, Sandra Villafañe sent the ball wide. The last chance of the first half was a header from Pichi that flew over the crossbar, to the relief of the home side.

After the restart, Marina Rivas and Aymerich came on for the Madrid-based side, while Hanane Aït El Haj, Laura Navajas and Yorladiz Díaz were the changes for the Vitoria-based team. In the 49th minute, a free-kick delivery from Ana González was left loose inside the box, and Sandra Villafañe, who was the MVP of the match, capitalised on the visiting defence's indecision to send the ball directly into the back of the net. The equaliser could have come from Yorladiz Díaz, but the Madrid-based team's goalkeeper gathered the ball. Andrea Esteban's side poured forward in attack in search of that longed-for goal, which just wouldn't come. The Vitoria-based team tried their luck from set-pieces, but crashed against the rival defence.
Both coaches made changes from the bench in an attempt to refresh their teams. Sarah Brasero came on for Deportivo Alavés and Alba Ruiz, returning from injury, entered for the home side. The Vitoria-based team appealed for a potential red card for a challenge on Yorladiz Díaz, which the referee did not award. The decisive goal could have come from Paula León, but a confident Sofía Fuente gathered the ball between the sticks. Reyes, who tried with a header, was the visitors' last chance, who were left with one player less due to Kumba Brima's dismissal for a second yellow card, but the home side took the victory.
