She and Mariona are the ones who received instructions from Giráldez on the wing, and made tactical adjustments to their teammates on the pitch. to capture the party they wanted.
Aitana was one of the most decisive from the beginning. He gave Geyse a chance, who missed the attacker after an improper coordination error of a ‘killer like the Brazilian, and had the first in her boots after an assist from Bronze that Silvia Lloris saved.
Another of the figures of the party was the author of the first goal, Engen, which is reversing its complicated situation at the start of the season, and already has the confidence of Giráldez. He scored the first goal with a strategic play, an extension in the area by Patri Guijarro to the Norwegian, who finished off with a header to put the first on the scoreboard.
Despite the insistence of Geyse in the Levante area, with assists, shots in the small area and even with a high volley, the one who managed to sentence was Aitana, who despaired María Méndez and Silvia Lloris, with a goal with her own brand. He made his particular turn, settled in and shot at will from the edge of the area. Although a goal from Alba Redondo two minutes later left the match in the same situation.
