Daniela and Andonova Shine During the FIFA Break for Levante UD Internationals

Levante UD footballers Daniela Arques and Natasha Andonova stood out among the club's internationals during the FIFA break, which took place from the end of May to the beginning of June due to various national team commitments. Both players scored for their respective teams: the young Murcian netted goals in both of Spain U19's friendlies against the USA, and the attacker scored a brace against Moldova in North Macedonia's 4-2 victory.

Daniela managed to find the back of the net in both friendly matches that the Spanish U19 team played against the United States. In the first match, which Spain won 3-0, she opened the scoring for "La Rojita" with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box. On Monday, June 3rd (3-3), she created a masterpiece by scoring from the midfield, netting the second goal for the national team. Meanwhile, Andonova’s North Macedonia drew their first game against Moldova (1-1) and in the second match, which they won 4-2, she scored the second goal from a penalty and the fourth with a brilliantly executed free kick.

The Spanish senior national team was another highlight during this period as they secured qualification for the upcoming Euro 2025 with two victories over Denmark. María Méndez participated in the first match, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Montse Tomé’s side, and she was a starter in the second match, which concluded with a 3-2 win for Spain after a comeback. However, Alba Redondo had to return to Valencia before the second game due to physical issues.

Lastly, Antonia Silva and Gabi Nunes shared starting roles with Brazil. The right-back started the first match against Jamaica, which the "canarinha" won 4-0, while the forward was in the starting eleven for the second match, which ended with the same result for the "verdeamarela".
