Real Sociedad and Granadilla Tenerife played out a 1:1 draw in the Primera División Femenina on Saturday, extending both sides' winless starts to the campaign. Sociedad, sitting 14th with just one point from three games, could only manage another stalemate against the visitors who moved to 12th place on two points.
A. Campo gave the hosts the lead in the 74th minute, working the channels to find space in the box. The goal came after Sociedad had accumulated 121 attacks throughout the match, though they created no big chances — and here's the thing, that's been the pattern for them all season.
Granadilla Tenerife responded through E. Verges in the 89th minute, clawing their way back from behind when most expected the visitors to fold. The away side had only 55 attacks to work with, but they were efficient when it mattered, converting one of two shots on target.
To be fair, neither keeper was asked to make a save of consequence, with the Sociedad stopper making just one save while her counterpart managed three. The statistics tell a story of possession without penetration — Sociedad controlled 61 per cent of the ball but their shots accuracy sat at 0.36, meaning three out of ten attempts found the frame.
The match was punctuated by nine substitutions, with both coaches looking for something different in the second half. Ten yellow cards were shown across the 90 minutes, including two in stoppage time when A. Zamanian and C. Florentino were booked for Tenerife.
By then, the result meant nothing changed in the table structure, but it did extend both sides' winless runs. Sociedad remain without a victory after a 2:3 defeat to Granada last week, while Tenerife have now drawn twice following their 0:5 loss away at Barcelona.
