Match Report: VCF Femenino advance in the Cup (0-1)
VCF Femenino will be in the draw of the last 16 of the Copa de SM la Reina after edging out CD Juan Grande by 0-1 scoreline in their cup opener in a knockout tie of the third round held in Gran Canaria.
VCF Femenino broke the deadlock on 28 minutes through Altuve with neither side being able to dominate, but it swung in VCF Femenino’s way thanks to their effectiveness.
The first meaningful chance fell to Mar Rubio, even though Altuve put VCF Femenino in front on 28 minutes after finishing off a Marta Carro effort following an Ana Torrodà corner-kick delivery.
María Pontejo’s side came close to equalising through further attempts from Núria and Raquel in the 29th and 34th minute respectively.
Andrea Esteban’s side also came close to doubling their lead before the break, on 40 minutes, Esther delivered an excellent cross from the left-hand side alas, no teammate could get on the end of it.
The first half finished 0-1 at the interval.
The second half saw Eli. G rattle the crossbar in the early goings, nothing but a scare for VCF Femenino who soon enough dictated both the play and the tempo of the game.
The Away side played a high line looking to make it difficult for VCFF to play out from the back and disrupt their ball movement.
The home side were reduced to 10 players on 68 minutes after Raquel was sent off for a double booking which opened the floodgates to further dominance from VCF Femenino who dominated until the final whistle.
VCF Femenino will be in the draw of the last 16 of the Copa de SM la Reina.
