The prestigious Estadio Municipal de Butarque, is the home ground of Spanish Segunda outfit, CD Leganes. And the Derby finals against Real Madrid women saw the eventual winners emerge through penalty-shootouts.
And that’s because, Athletico de Madrid, wrestled their way into the game, despite trailing by two goals.
Toletti, opened the scoring with just a minute pass half-hour mark. And few minutes later, Andres, extended their lead through a petrifying strike.
But, instead of staying down, Ajibade and his team rose from their ruins to salvage a point. A 56th minute strike from Moral Ruiz, was that was needed for as a comeback motivation.
