Real Madrid defeat Badalona at the Di Stéfano

Real Madrid recorded another victory at the Alfredo Di Stéfano to continue their unbeaten run at home. Our team convincingly beat Badalona in the League matchday six fixture. Pau Quesada's side, who dominated the game from the start, took the lead in the first half thanks to goals from Linda Caicedo and Feller. In the second half, Athenea made it 3-0 to seal the victory for Madrid. Keukelaar made her debut for the team after replacing Antonia Silva, who had to be withdrawn due to injury.

The Madridistas took the initiative from the kick off and Bruun came close to scoring the first goal in the 9th minute with a shot in the area that rattled the post. Our team continued to create chances and Feller also came close to scoring the first goal after receiving a nice through ball from Linda Caicedo, but Canales deflected her shot in a one-on-one situation (15'). Madrid's persistence finally paid off in the 26th minute, with the Colombian coming to the fore. She received the ball in the opposition's half, outpaced the backline and beat the goalkeeper with a precise shot from the edge of the box. Madrid were looking for more and, twelve minutes later, Feller headed home Eva Navarro's measured cross from to make it 2-0. Before the break, Badalona had a couple of chances that Frohms snuffed out with two good saves.

The second half followed the same pattern, with Real Madrid dominating. Athenea, who replaced Feller due to a slight discomfort, extended the lead in the 58th minute. Eva Navarro threaded a fine pass into the box for the striker, who controlled the ball and beat Canales with a low shot across the goal. Six minutes later, Comendador, who had just come on, scored a goal that the referee ruled out for a previous offside. The visitors had their best chance in the 76th minute through Paula, who struck a brilliant shot that crashed against the crossbar. Our team had more chances to score, but the result remained unchanged. In the end, three more points at home.
