The Italian international Conti was on target in the 6:0 drubbing of her former club Levante UD by cheekily scoring a spectacular chip over the visitors’ Brazilian keeper Thais. Madrid native Mery also scored in the game that proved to be the worst defeat for Levante in years and more than compensated for Espanyol’s unfortunate 2:0 loss to the same opponent in Valencia earlier this season.

The Barcelona outfit continued their good form in Tarragona last weekend where the local Gimnastic was annihilated with a score of 8:1. Conti opened the scoring and Mery turned the real star of the show by scoring 4 second half goals which takes her tally for the season to 8 in 10 appearances.

Finally, Espanyol took a potentially tricky trip to the Balearic Island of Mallorca yesterday, where the local side UD Collerense hadn’t lost a game yet. However, the visitors proved too strong for the Superliga newcomers and went away with a convincing 4:1 victory. Mery was on the field for 90 minutes, and Conti again got herself on the scoresheet by netting the winning second and the fourth goals of the game. This success marks the 14th goal the Palermo native scored in 11 matches this season, which makes her the highest goalscorer of the team and currently 3rd best in the Superliga.

Already qualified for the final round of eight teams who will fight for the League championship beginning in January, RCD Espanyol will finish the first part of the season with a perennial city derby away to the second placed Barça at the Mini Estadi Camp Nou on December 20.
