The Real Madrid Women’s team celebrated a remarkable victory, defeating Alhama F. 5-0 while marking a historic milestone for goalkeeper Misa Rodríguez. In her 187th appearance for the club, Rodríguez surpassed Olga as the player with the most matches played in Real Madrid history. Coach Pau Quesada’s squad, despite several changes to the lineup, showcased their dominance ahead of an important Champions League clash against Paris FC.
This emphatic win continues Real Madrid’s impressive form, now boasting seven consecutive victories across all competitions. The team has scored an astounding 25 goals while conceding only four during this winning streak. The match kicked off with an own goal from Alba Santamaría in the 30th minute, setting the tone for a commanding performance. Goals from Silvia Cristóbal (50′), Lotte Keukelaar (54′), and Iris Ashley (89′) further extended the lead, with Linda Caicedo sealing the deal in stoppage time after an electrifying solo run that left four defenders in her wake.
A Star is Born
Among the standout performers was 17-year-old Iris Ashley, who not only started but also scored with a powerful header just before her birthday. Her performance has sparked excitement among fans and analysts alike, showcasing her potential to become a key player for the team. Quesada’s tactical adjustments did not hinder the squad’s ability to maintain nearly 80% possession in the first half, reflecting their control over the match as noted by AS.
Looking Ahead
This victory sets up an enticing challenge for the Merengues as they prepare to face Paris FC in the Champions League. Currently sitting four points behind FC Barcelona in the league standings, Real Madrid is poised for a crucial Clásico encounter on November 15. The team’s recent performances suggest they are not just contenders but serious title challengers this season. Can they continue this momentum and close the gap at the top?
With Misa Rodríguez now etched in club history and young talents like Ashley stepping up, Real Madrid Women are not just celebrating a win; they are laying down a marker for what’s to come in both domestic and European competitions.
