Alhama v Real Madrid Women: out to clinch Copa del Rey quarter-final spot
Alberto Toril's charges open their tournament campaign at the Complejo Deportivo Guadalentín (7pm CET).
Today sees Real Madrid Women begin their involvement in another competition as they travel to Murcia-based Alhama's Complejo Deportivo Guadalentín in the last-16 of the Copa de la Reina. Alberto Toril's ladies will be aiming to claim victory in the one-legged tie to take their place in the draw for the last eight.
Tonight's game represents the first in a demanding month that sees Real Madrid play eight times. Our ladies will be keen to extend the fine run of results from before the international break and rack up a fifth straight win. However, the madridistas will face a stern test against opponents who won't make life easy for them. The Murcia-based outfit lie top of their group in the Reto Iberdrola and have reached this stage after successfully negotiating three ties, against Sporting Gijón, Córdoba and Éibar.
