Junior FC took advantage of Club de Campo’s delayed game away to CH Sardinero to move level at the top of Spain’s women’s Iberdrola league with a resounding 8-1 success against RC Jolaseta. 

A 6-0 half-time lead, built on a couple of Carlota Petchame goals put them well out in front and on course for a simple win with Berta Serrahima adding two more in the second half.
