The Valencia CF Femenino suffered another defeat this Sunday against Logroño United at the Estadio Las Gaunas, in Matchday 3 of Liga F. The final score of 2-1 keeps the Valencian team at the bottom of the league table.

The first half was uncomfortable for the visitors, who faced a highly intense home team from the start. The Riojan side had the first clear chance at eleven minutes with a shot from Annelie Leitner that was saved by goalkeeper Alice Pinguet. The Valencian response came from Tere Morató, with a shot that reached the hands of local goalkeeper María Miralles. Leitner tried again with a strike against the post, fulfilling her coach's request to "correct attacking effectiveness".
Valencia goalkeeper Alice Pinguet was a key player throughout the match, making numerous saves to prevent a wider margin. The insistence and pressure from Logroño United marked the second half, where Valencia CF's dangerous actions were practically non-existent.
Despite tactical changes made by coach Mikel Crespo, with Danielle Marcano on the left wing, Débora García on the right, and Lucía Moral as a forward, the home team managed to overcome the Valencian side. In the 70th minute, Ana Franco, a former Levante UD player, scored the 2-0.
The match was extended by an additional ten minutes due to two VAR reviews requested by the home team. In the 96th minute, Danielle Marcano managed to reduce the deficit with a header, setting the final score at 2-1. Valencia CF thus remains at the bottom of the league, without points and with only two goals scored so far this season.
