On March 2, 2025, the Real Sociedad women's football team played against Sevilla FC women at the Zubieta Sports Complex, resulting in a 0-0 draw. This match, part of the Liga F, was eagerly anticipated as both teams sought to improve their standings before the upcoming international break.
The first half of the game was tightly contested, with neither team able to convert opportunities. Sevilla's Fatou Kanteh had the first notable chance, breaking past the goalkeeper only to miss from the open goal. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, attempted to capitalize on deep passes but struggled to create significant scoring opportunities.
During the first half, both teams showcased their defensive capabilities. Sevilla initiated several attacks, but their efforts were thwarted by Real Sociedad's sturdy defense. The visitors had their moments, including shots from Gemma Gili and Millaray Cortés, yet they lacked precision to find the back of the net.
The second half saw Real Sociedad turning up the intensity. A standout moment occurred when Nerea Eizagirre executed a compelling free-kick, leading to Elene Guridi's close-range shot. "The best of the match, without question, came from Nerea's free-kick and Guridi, from point-blank range, was close to putting the txuri urdin ahead, but the visiting goalkeeper prevented it with great intervention," reported El Sevillista.
Real Sociedad’s players began finding more spaces as the match wore on. Lucia Pardo also threatened with another attempt; her skillful maneuvering almost saw her break through Sevilla’s defense, yet again the goal eluded them.
Though Sevilla FC had attempted counter-attacks, the home team's defense stood firm. Fatou Kanteh and Natalia Padilla-Bidas had noteworthy shots, but neither could find their mark. The match continued to be characterized by intense midfield battles, each team fiercely trying to maintain possession and assert dominance.
Although the game ended without goals, the overall performance from both teams was commendable. The blend of strategy and effort presented by Sevilla under Manager David Losada reflected their aim to maintain competitiveness in the league. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad's capacity to create chances could bode well for their upcoming fixtures.
Real Sociedad’s head coach expressed pride over his team's performance, noting, "The Real Sociedad has gone from less to more and has had enough opportunities to score, but they have not been accurate and have had to settle for one point," according to El Sevillista.
With respect to match statistics, Real Sociedad held slightly more possession but both teams recorded multiple shots on goal, albeit with lower accuracy. Sevilla's defensive strategy, paired with sharp counter-attacks, kept the match intact.
The draw means both teams now shift focus to their next matches. Real Sociedad is eager to bounce back after this stalemate and will face FC Levante Badalona next weekend, aiming to secure all three points at home. Sevilla, equally determined, will look to build on this momentum against Real Madrid the following week.
Fans can find solace knowing their teams showcased resilience, and with games coming thick and fast, there's plenty of action on the horizon as these teams vie for higher positions on the league table.
