Madrid starts the season with a derby victory

Real Madrid secured their first three points of the 2026/27 League at the Alfredo Di Stéfano. The first half was thrilling, with Schröder scoring a brace and Toletti netting an Olympic goal, while Jensen scored twice for the visitors. The second half was equally intense, although no further goals were scored. On the madridista side, Schröder was sent off after receiving a straight red card (55’), and thirteen minutes later, Gio faced the same fate. The scoreline remained unchanged, and our team claimed the derby victory and their first three points.

The visitors were the first to threaten through Luany, who came close in the third minute with a shot from inside the area that grazed the post. The madridistas were the ones to open the scoring. Keukelaar outmaneuvered Lucía with a stunning roulette move, sent the ball into the six-yard box, and Schröder pounced to beat Gallardo (8’). Just seven minutes later, Toletti surprised everyone at the Di Stéfano by scoring the 2-0 with an incredible Olympic goal.

Schröder's Brace
Atleti managed to pull one back in the 35th minute when Jensen finished off a low cross from Luany. But a minute before the end of the first half, Angeldahl regained possession in the opponent's half, combined with Toletti and Elisa, and Schröder sealed her brace with a left-footed strike. The match was relentless, and just before halftime, Jensen once again reduced the madridista lead with a long-range effort.

Both Teams Down to 10 Players
The second half started on a challenging note for our team as, in the 55th minute, the brace scorer was sent off after receiving a straight red card following a VAR review for an incident involving R. Otermín. However, thirteen minutes later, the teams were back on equal footing as Gio also saw a straight red card, again through VAR intervention. Atlético pushed for an equalizer, but Frohms's outstanding saves denied them. Beerensteyn had the final chance with a shot from a great pass by Linda C. that went wide. In the end, it finished 3-2 at the Di Stéfano.
