Atleti, Levante, Espanyol & Madrid into LaLiga Promises semis
Following a thrilling day of action at A Coruña's Abegondo Training Ground on Saturday, we now know the identity of the four teams who'll battle it out to be crowned champions at the inaugural female edition of LaLiga Promises as Atletico Madrid, Levante UD, RCD Espanyol and Madrid CFF all built on their impressive opening-day showings to advance to Sunday's semis.
Group A
Atletico continued where they'd left off following their two dominant displays on Friday by swatting Fundacion Albacete aside in a 4-0 romp to seal their place in the next round as group winners. In the contest to decide who would take second spot, Real Betis edged past Sporting Club Huelva, courtesy of a breathtaking 3-2 victory, to join Atleti in the last eight.
Group B
Madrid CFF also proved that they're most certainly a force to be reckoned with as they trounced Sevilla FC 5-0 to progress as group winners. Meanwhile, a solitary point was all that Levante needed from their meeting with hosts RC Deportivo and the sides' goalless stalemate was therefore enough for the Granotas to secure their passage into the quarter-finals.
Group C
Espanyol, who had seen off UD Granadilla Tenerife on the first day, repeated the feat here against Rayo Vallecano to guarantee top spot. The Canary Islanders, meanwhile, claimed a 2-0 win over Rayo to march on to the last eight.
Group D
The 0-0 draw between Valencia CF and Athletic Club on Friday left everything very much to play for in this group. The Basques got Saturday's action under way with a comfortable 4-1 triumph over Malaga CF, whilst Valencia recorded a 3-0 success over the Andalusian outfit. These results meant that the Bilbao-based side progressed as group winners, by virtue of having scored more goals, whilst Valencia had to settle for a second-placed finish, which was enough to see them clinch a quarter-final berth.
