Sevilla Women Edge Granadilla in Tight Encounter
Sevilla Women secured a 3-1 victory over Granadilla Tenerife in the fourth round of the Primera División Femenina on Sunday. The away side took control through two converted penalties and a second-half strike, while Granadilla's response came via a first-half goal. Sevilla moved up to ninth in the table with six points from four matches, while their hosts remain fifteenth on two points. And here's the thing about Sevilla's opening exchanges — they created two clear chances but wasted both. F. Kanteh Cham missed a penalty in the twelfth minute, and N. Padilla saw her effort saved just before the half-hour mark. By then, Padilla had composed herself to net in the twenty-ninth minute, a moment that shifted the momentum. Kanteh Cham doubled the advantage in the thirty-ninth, and Granadilla's R. Morcillo pulled one back just before the break.Sevilla came out after the interval with fresh legs, making two changes in the sixty-third minute. The substitutions didn't immediately change the pattern, and Granadilla held firm until the seventy-eighth minute when E. Martin-Pozuelo restored the two-goal cushion. The hosts threw bodies forward in search of a consolation, but Sevilla's defence held its shape without panic.
There were cards scattered throughout, mostly late in the game when tension had built. Granadilla picked up three yellows — Yerai, Salazar, and Alvarez — while Losada and Alvarez each received a booking for Sevilla. The disciplinary record didn't alter the outcome, but it reflected a match that grew increasingly fragmented as the clock ran down.
Sevilla's away win extends their unbeaten run to two matches, though they've already lost twice this season. Granadilla's pattern continues — two draws and two defeats leaving them rooted near the bottom. Both sides have shown glimpses of quality but also vulnerability, and neither has found consistency yet. The gap between them remains clear on the table, but the match itself suggested the distance is narrowing.
