In a Hypermotion League match, Álex Sala faked a long throw but passed the ball to Cristina Carracedo at the edge of the area. Carracedo took a direct shot at the goal and scored a stunning goal that became one of the highlights of the day and possibly of the season, putting the score at 3-0 in favor of her team at the Arcángel stadium.
The stands erupted with excitement at Carracedo's goal, while on the sidelines her coach smiled, torn between joy for the goal and another interpretation of the moment. Subsequently, the player lost her starting position in the next matches, making way for another teammate in the starting eleven.
Carracedo's gesture when scoring the goal was a clear message to her coach and the fans, asserting herself after her spectacular performance. Despite receiving a yellow card for taking off her shirt to celebrate the goal, the winger approached her coach, Iván Ania, and they embraced with smiles.
In the post-match press conference, when Ania was asked about the player's attitude, the coach replied that Carracedo didn’t say anything to him at the moment of celebrating the goal, but added that she is "a peculiar guy".
Carracedo, who had been crucial in the first half of the season, has lost prominence in the recent matches and has been relegated to the bench. Her goal against Granada was an attempt at reclamation by the player, who lifted her shirt in a symbolic gesture towards the bench.
Carracedo's goal came in the 48th minute of the match when Córdoba CF and Granada were facing off. The goal, resulting from a corner kick in Ania's strategy, was celebrated with jubilation by her teammates, who quickly surrounded her with smiles, recognizing the importance of the goal for the team.
