Costa Adeje Tenerife Women and CD Alaves Women played out a 0-0 draw in the Spanish Primera División de la Liga de Fútbol Femenino on 8 November 2026, with both sides cancelling each other out in a tense, tactical encounter. In a league where the margins between mid-table security and the battle for higher positions are slim, the point was a valuable one for both teams.

Match overview

Costa Adeje Tenerife Women began with purpose, using the width of the pitch to stretch Alaves and create crossing opportunities. The home side’s midfield pressed aggressively, looking to win the ball high and sustain attacks. Alaves, however, were well prepared, defending in a compact block and looking to hit on the counter-attack.

The first half was a story of possession without penetration for Tenerife. They saw more of the ball and won several corners, but Alaves’ defenders cleared the danger efficiently. The visitors grew into the game and had a couple of promising breaks, though the final pass let them down.

Key moments

Tenerife’s best chance came midway through the first half when a cross from the right found a forward in the box, but her header was saved comfortably. Alaves responded with a shot from distance that flew just wide of the post. The game remained balanced, with both teams cautious about committing too many players forward.

After the break, Tenerife pushed harder. A free-kick from a dangerous position was whipped into the area, but the Alaves goalkeeper claimed it confidently. Later, a goalmouth scramble ended with the ball being hacked clear. Alaves nearly won it on the break, but a last-ditch tackle denied their forward a clear shooting chance.

Tactical story

Tenerife’s approach was built on patient build-up and wide overloads, but Alaves’ defensive organisation made it difficult to find space in the box. The visitors’ midfield dropped deep to protect the back four, and their wingers tracked back diligently to double up on Tenerife’s wide players. That defensive discipline was the foundation of the clean sheet.

Alaves’ attacking plan relied on quick transitions and direct running. They had moments of promise but lacked the final quality in the decisive areas. Tenerife, meanwhile, will reflect on a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal, having enjoyed the greater share of possession and territory.

Standout performers

The Alaves goalkeeper was excellent, making a series of confident claims and one important second-half save. Her centre-backs were equally strong, winning headers and blocking shots. In midfield, Alaves’ defensive anchor broke up play effectively and helped slow Tenerife’s rhythm.

For Tenerife, the goalkeeper was rarely tested but remained focused and distributed well. Their midfield controller tried to dictate the tempo, while the wide players were a constant outlet. The home side’s defensive line also deserves credit for snuffing out Alaves’ counter-attacks.

Table and season impact

The draw gives both teams a point in the Primera División de la Liga de Fútbol Femenino, a league where consistency is crucial. Tenerife will feel they dropped two points on home soil, while Alaves will be satisfied with a disciplined away performance and a clean sheet.

As the season progresses, both sides will need to turn these tight draws into victories if they are to climb the standings. For now, the defensive solidity shown in this match offers a platform to build on.
