A win in the first match of the season at the Di Stéfano Stadium

A win for Real Madrid on their return to the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. The madridistas treated the crowd to their first home win of the season with a victory over Athletic Club on matchday three of the league season. Olga converted the first from the penalty spot (18‘) and Maite Zubieta's own goal made it 2-0 (23'). It's the fourth consecutive win in what has been a great start to the season for Toril's side, as they continue at the top of the table.

Both teams got off to a very sharp start and chances came and went at both ends of the pitch in the first few minutes. With 17 minutes on the clock, Teresa slipped a great pass to Bruun, who was brought down inside the area by Nerea. The referee pointed to the spot and Olga stepped up to convert the spot-kick and put the home side ahead. The lead was doubled five minutes later when Maite Zubieta turned the ball into her own net from a corner kick.

Athletic could have pulled one back after the break, but Nerea's goal was chalked off by the referee following a foul on Misa. Redondo missed a one-on-one with Nanclares and Athenea shot over after picking up a rebound from the goalkeeper. Redondo had another good chance shortly after but shot wide from inside the area. Misa made a great save to keep out Nahikari's header towards the end of the game.
