0-2: Real Madrid win final friendly before start of league campaign
Eva Navarro and Oihane were on target to give the Whites the victory in the match played against Deportivo in Abegondo.
Following the suspension of the Cantarrana Trophy due to the torrential rain in Viveiro, which badly affected the pitch at the stadium that was to host the match today, Real Madrid and Deportivo de La Coruña played a warm-up game at the Abegondo Sports Complex in Abegondo. The Whites won 0-2, with goals from Eva Navarro and Oihane, in the last pre-season test before the league opener at home to Espanyol (Friday, 6 September, 8 pm CEST).
The first half was controlled by Madrid, with Olga finding space on the left flank but no clear-cut chances were made. The Galician side tried to attack on the counter and Misa saved well from Millene's shot in the 22nd minute. Athenea had the biggest chance with an effort that was well stopped by the opposition goal on the stroke of half-time.
Madrid rewarded for pressure
Toril reshuffled the pack in the second half. And in the 58th minute, Alba Redondo had a great chance from Olga's cross that was turned behind for a corner. In the ensuing corner-kick, Eva Navarro struck to make it 0-1. The Madridistas continued to press forward and in the 85th minute, it was 0-2. A wonderful cross from the left by Leupolz was headed home by Oihane.
