Egara dominates copa de la reina, villa madrid stumbles in penaltis

Egara delivered a clinical performance, dispatching Atlètic Terrassa 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina, setting the stage for a showdown against Sanse Complutense. A swift double from Keenan and Herrero extinguished any Terrassa hopes of forcing a penalty shootout, cementing Egara’s place in the semi-finals.

Valley rivalry ends prematurely

The match at Junior FC’s Sant Cugat del Vallès stadium wasn’t a straightforward affair. Following a goalless first half, Berta Muñoz’s early second-half strike ignited a brief Terrassa surge. However, the Egara defense held firm until the 78th minute, when Sofia Keenan’s clinical finish and a moment of brilliance from Mireia Herrero sealed the victory.

Sanse's unchallenged ascent

Meanwhile, Sanse Complutense continued their impressive form, dismantling Real Sociedad 3-0. The Madrid side, enjoying a remarkable 15-game unbeaten streak, demonstrated their dominance early on, netting three goals within the first third of the match. This decisive win propels them into the semi-finals, where they’ll face the reigning champions.

Villa madrid’s drama in penalties

At the other end of the bracket, Club de Campo Villa Madrid faced a nervy test against Junior FC. After a tense 3-3 draw, the game went to penalties. Despite a valiant effort, the Villa Madrid’s campaign ended in heartbreak, succumbing 3-1 in the shootout. Mia Byrne’s late goal offered a glimmer of hope, but it proved insufficient.

Canarian surprise claims victory

Taburiente, the Canarian outfit, secured a dramatic 3-2 penalty shootout victory over Real Club de Polo de Barcelona after a 3-3 stalemate. This unexpected success propels them into the semi-finals, offering a tantalizing prospect of a return to the Copa de la Reina final after two years away. The result underscores the competitive depth of Spanish women’s football.

With Egara and Sanse now poised for a semi-final clash, and Villa Madrid’s elimination a stark reminder of the tournament’s volatility, the quest for the Copa de la Reina crown promises a compelling conclusion.
