There was a derby heat of rank already in the second round of the Spanish Primera Division Femenina.
And national team goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl was found in the usual order in Atletico Madrid's starting eleven when the team visited Real Madrid in the big meeting.
Real Madrid recently solved promotion to the Champions League group stage, but today it went worse.
The compatriot, also the big player, Kosovar Asllani, who recently made a comeback after suffering from covid-19, started on the bench.
The meringues had probably needed her from the start.
The away team got the best possible start when they took the lead after only four minutes of play.
Pre-season big exclamation point Deyna Castellanos found the net in the premiere against Rayo Vallecano.
Today she did it again when she put 1-0.
Asllani replaced others
In the 49th minute, the match made its second Swedish entry.
Asllani was substituted in hopes of turning the tables.
However, it is in vain.
20 minutes later, the guests stood for a top-class roll and Barbara Latorre was finally able to serve Estefania Banini to 2-0.
The multi-merited Swedish goalkeeper thus had to leave the away grass with the victory intact - and a smile on his face.
For her team, the match against Huelva awaits next.
Asllani and Real Madrid may come back when they face Granadilla Tenerife in the next round.
