The forward was handed her 18th league start and set up the only goal that ensured Iker Dorronsoro s side ended their 10-match winless streak and keep their survival hopes alive.
The game started with both sides aiming to get an early goal to boost their respective ambitions but Kgatlana s pass ensured Sara Navarro netted the matchwinner in the 19th minute for Eibar.
Kgatlana featured for the duration of the tie for Eibar, providing her seventh assist of the season, including 10 goals in 24 appearances.
Besides Kgatlana, compatriot Noko Matlou made a cameo appearance, after replacing Queralt Gomez in the 89th minute.
Below are my immediate thoughts on the game. Player ratings and post-match pod to follow.
Real Madrid Femenino burst out of the gates pressing with a ferocious intensity. Aurélie Kaci stepped up alongside Kosovare Asllani in a 4-4-2 structure and harried Real Sociedad’s center-backs into early mistakes, creating a nice counter-attacking action that saw Asllani’s attempt off the cut-back saved.
There was a positive general synergy flowing throughout the team in the opening minutes. As Real Sociedad tried to figure out how to establish their possession game, Las Blancas thrived in transition. In the 11th minute, Cardona was unleashed down the right and she cut inside past two players to curl an absolute pearler from distance.
