New record attendence for women's football match in Spain

MADRID, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Women's football continues to break records in Spain thanks to the 60,739 fans watched the Liga Iberdrola match between Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona's women's teams in the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday.

The game between the top-two sides in the league table saw the highest ever attendance for a women's game in Europe, beating the 48,121 who watched a Copa de la Reina match between Athletic Club Bilbao and Atletico Madrid in San Mames a few weeks ago.

However, it wasn't all good news for Atletico Madrid as Barca claimed a 2-0 victory to close Atletico's lead at the top of the table to three points.
