María Cristina "Cris" Cornejo Vega (born 9 January 1992) is a Spanish footballer who last played for Alavés as a goalkeeper.
She began her career in the Basque regional leagues with Intxaurdi KE,[1] being signed by Real Sociedad who soon gave the 16-year-old her Primera División debut.[2] She remained with the Txuri-urdin for nine seasons, making over 100 appearances, although she was often second-choice in the squad behind the older Sokoa Azkarate, then the younger Mariasun Quiñones.[2]
In 2018, Cornejo moved to second-tier Eibar along with three Real Sociedad teammates,[3][4] and helped them to finish in a position to move into the new Segunda División Pro. A year later – along with defender Gaste, another of the group who had switched to Eibar – she signed for Alavés, of the same level,[5] and was the regular goalkeeper as they won the title and gained promotion to the Primera in the 2020–21 season.[6]
