Chidiac finds the net - and form - in Spain

Alex Chidiac has continued her meteoric rise for club and country after grabbing her third goal for AtlΓ©tico Madrid in their 3-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano.

The 19-year-old came on at half-time with the scores level after Ángeles had opened the scoring for Rayo Vallecano.

Goals to Olga GarcΓ­a and Ana Marcos gave AtlΓ©ti the lead, before Chidiac’s 90th-minute rocket to the top left corner ensured all three points for Los Rojiblancos.

That win put AtlΓ©tico Madrid on 27 points, one point clear of FC Barcelona, who inflicted AtlΓ©ti’s first loss of the season last round. 

Chidiac is now averaging one goal every 103 minutes β€” a great return for the youngster yet to hit her twenties.

Luik not far behind

Chidiac’s Westfield Matilda teammate, Aivi Luik, came on for a red-hot Levante as they emerged 6-0 victors over Granadilla Tenerife. 

The win comes off the back of a 7-0 thumping over MΓ laga at home the week before, and a November that has thus far seen Levante score 13 goals and ship only two.

Ironically, those two goals came in a solitary loss to none other than Chidiac’s AtlΓ©ti.
