The match, played at the Estadio Las Gaunas, saw the visitors dominate possession and create the clearer chances, eventually breaking through in each half to secure three valuable points.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Athletic Club controlled the tempo, pressing high and forcing DUX Logrono into defensive errors. The home side struggled to build sustained attacks, often losing possession in midfield. Athletic’s disciplined shape and quick transitions proved too much for the Logroño defence, and the visitors never looked back after taking an early lead.

Key Moments

• 14th minute – Goal for Athletic Club: A well-worked corner routine saw midfielder Ane Elexpuru head in from six yards, giving the away side a deserved lead.
• 38th minute – DUX Logrono chance: Forward María Albiñana saw her long-range effort tipped over the bar by Athletic goalkeeper Adriana Nanclares.

Tactical Story

DUX Logrono attempted to contain Athletic’s wide threats by dropping into a compact 4‑4‑2 block, but Athletic’s midfield trio – led by Irene Oguiza – constantly found pockets of space between the lines. The visitors’ full‑backs pushed high, pinning the DUX wingers back and creating overloads. Athletic’s second goal was a classic example of their transition game: a quick turnover in midfield, one‑touch passing, and a clinical finish. DUX never recovered after the red card, and Athletic comfortably saw out the match.
