When last season’s Primera Division Femenina was curtailed, Deportivo La Coruna (or Deportivo Abanca, for commercial purposes) appearing in their first season in the top flight sat in fourth place. Approaching the midway point this time around, they find themselves propping up the rest of the teams with a measly seven points to their name.
At the weekend, the pressure increased on basement Deportivo after a 3-0 defeat by Valencia. The club from the Galicia region is now facing its first real adversity on its second incarnation.
