Real Madrid secured a victory against Valencia in the match corresponding to the fourth matchday of Liga F, held at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. Our team took control from the start, with Elisa scoring the 1-0 with a cross-shot (25’), and Schröder extending the lead five minutes later (31’). In the second half, Marcano reduced the deficit for the visitors (69’), but our players held firm and sealed the game with a goal by Athenea in the 94th minute.

The madridistas dominated possession from the start, but Valencia's defensive block prevented clear chances. Our team continued to wait patiently for their moment and, in the 25th minute, Elisa opened the scoring with a left-footed cross-shot inside the box after a pass from Beerensteyn. Five minutes later, the second goal came after a cross from Andersson that Schröder capitalized on with a well-timed run to score (31’). The first half ended with a 2-0 lead.

Athenea seals the win in added time

Five minutes later, Lakrar prevented a goal on the line after a shot from Pauleta. In the 69th minute, Marcano narrowed the gap for the visitors with a header from a corner.
