Athletic experienced another defeat at Lezama against Deportivo, mirroring their first-round loss with a goal from Ainhoa Marín, marking their third consecutive home defeat.

Just like in the first leg, Athletic suffered another defeat against Deportivo, once again by the narrowest of margins and thanks to a goal from Ainhoa Marín. This result means the Bilbao team has now accumulated three consecutive home losses, following previous defeats against Atlético and Granada.
The match, corresponding to the twenty-eighth round of Liga F, took place at Lezama in front of 628 spectators. The game proceeded without much urgency or tension, featuring a low tempo and few clear chances in the first half. However, Ainhoa Marín had a significant early opportunity that was thwarted by the goalkeeper.
The scenario remained unchanged in the second half. Athletic continued to dominate but lacked precision in front of goal. Agote and Elexpuru had chances but failed to convert them. Ultimately, Ainhoa Marín, on a counter-attack, found the ball in the box and scored the only goal of the match. There will be no league play next weekend due to the Copa de la Reina final between Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid.
