Campo the Spanish women’s champs once more
Club de Campo Villa de Madrid have been crowned the Spanish women’s Iberdrola league winners once again after defeating Atlètic 2-1 at the Martí Colomer stadium in Terrassa.
Pablo Usoz’s team has had a great season in which they were the best in the regular season, reached the finals of the Copa de la Reina and then won their 23rd national title.
His team controlled the match and took the win thanks to their effectiveness from the penalty corner.
After a scoreless first half, the 33rd minute saw María López slot under Clara Pérez’s legs to open the scoring. And they had another soon after, Cayetana del Real this time converting for a 2-0 advantage.
Atlètic bounced back with Maria Torrent scoring from the centre of the circle and they had a numerical advantage in the closing minutes but the Catalans were unable to find an equaliser.
Campo’s Belén Iglesias said afterwards: “It was a very tough match. They have a great team, a very good goalkeeper, and we struggled to break the deadlock, but we were lucky with the penalty corners and they went in.
“Then they made things very difficult for us by scoring that goal, because there was still a lot of time left, but we fought until the end, giving it our all, and we are very happy.”
Regarding her farewell as a player, she added, “I’ve been on this team since I was little; I’ve always played here and so has my family. It’s super special for me to play on this team. To end up winning is a reward beyond words.”
