The Blaugrana side will be in the Copa de la Reina final. The home team quickly took control of the match, and in the first half, there were chances for both teams. Elena Julve posed a threat, while Salma Paralluelo also created danger on the rival goal, though without success. Around the half-hour mark, Claudia Pina found Alexia inside the area, who sent the ball into the back of the net, but the action was disallowed for offside. As the first half drew to a close, from a corner kick, Patri Guijarro found space, and Alexia arrived from behind to open the scoring at the end of the first forty-five minutes. After the break, Marc Ballester brought on Lice Chamorro to add more firepower in the final third, but the forward was not fortunate.

The visiting team's hopes faded by the half-hour mark. A cross from Vicky López struck a defender's hand, and the referee awarded a penalty. Alexia Putellas, from the spot, was responsible for extending the lead on the scoreboard. Both teams made substitutions, but it was once again FC Barcelona who managed to find the rival goal. The Portuguese midfielder scored a stunning goal to seal the tie and further tilt the match in favour of the Culé side. On a counter-attack, Lice Chamorro was responsible for reducing the deficit on the scoreboard. The final 4-1 was scored by Ewa Pajor, who put the game to bed with four minutes remaining. The Copa de la Reina final between the Blaugrana club and the Madrid side will be played on 16 May.
