Eibar Women and Madrid CFF Women played out an exciting 2-2 draw in the Spanish Primera División de la Liga de Fútbol Femenino on 26 October 2026. The match at Ipurua had everything: early pressure, four goals, tactical adjustments and a tense finish as both sides searched for a winner.

Match overview

Eibar Women started with high energy and took the lead through Ane Miren, who capitalised on a loose ball in the penalty area. The home side’s pressing caused Madrid CFF problems in the opening 20 minutes, but the visitors gradually found their rhythm and equalised through Marta López. Eibar restored their advantage before half-time when Sara Álvarez finished a quick counter-attack.

Madrid CFF came out stronger after the break and levelled through Carla Duarte, whose well-timed run and composed finish beat the Eibar goalkeeper. Both teams had chances to win it in the final 15 minutes, but a combination of good goalkeeping and last-ditch defending ensured the points were shared.

Key moments

• 14' – Eibar 1-0: Ane Miren scored after Madrid CFF failed to clear a cross.
• 32' – 1-1: Marta López equalised with a precise finish from the edge of the area.
• 44' – 2-1: Sara Álvarez finished a fast break to restore Eibar’s lead.
• 61' – 2-2: Carla Duarte levelled for Madrid CFF after a slick passing move.

Tactical story

Eibar’s high press was effective in the first half, forcing Madrid CFF into errors and creating turnovers in dangerous areas. The home side’s willingness to attack quickly through the channels gave them a platform, and their two goals came from aggressive transitions. However, that approach also left space behind the defence, which Madrid CFF exploited as the game wore on.

Madrid CFF showed their quality in possession after the interval. They moved the ball more patiently, drew Eibar out of shape and created better angles in the final third. The equaliser was a fine team goal, and the visitors might have won it late had their finishing matched their build-up play. Eibar, for their part, will be pleased with the attacking intent but frustrated by their inability to protect the lead twice.

Standout players

Ane Miren was a constant threat for Eibar, combining movement with clinical finishing. Sara Álvarez’s pace caused problems throughout, and her goal was a reward for her intelligent running. Madrid CFF’s Carla Duarte was excellent after the break, while Marta López’s equaliser highlighted her composure in front of goal.

Season impact

The draw adds another point to both teams’ tallies in the Liga F standings and underlines how competitive the middle section of the table is becoming. Eibar will take heart from their attacking display but will focus on game management in the coming weeks. Madrid CFF, meanwhile, showed character to come from behind twice and will believe they can build on the performance as they push for a stronger position in the Spanish women’s top flight.
