Nigeria’s Edna Imade continued her fine goalscoring form in the Spanish Liga F on Saturday afternoon, but her strike wasn’t enough to prevent Real Sociedad from suffering a 2–1 home defeat to UD Tenerife at the Ciudad Deportiva de Zubieta.
The 24-year-old forward pulled one back for Sociedad in the 35th minute, after the visitors had stormed to a two-goal lead earlier in the first half.
Her composed finish gave her second goal of the season, and she has now scored in back-to-back matches.
Match Breakdown: Early Setbacks Cost Sociedad
Tenerife drew first blood in the 12th minute when Sakin Ouzraoui Diki opened the scoring, finishing off a neat assist from Carlota Suarez.
The visitors doubled their advantage in the 22nd minute through Natalia Ramos, who calmly converted from the penalty spot to make it 2–0.
Sociedad responded strongly, and Imade gave the home crowd hope five minutes before the break.
She showed excellent movement to get past the Tenerife defence and slotted home confidently to reduce the deficit.
Unfortunately, Real Sociedad couldn’t find an equaliser, despite mounting pressure in the second half as Tenerife’s organised backline held firm to secure all three points.
