Match details

Before kick-off, the players from both sides observed a minute's silence in memory of Jesús de Miguel. The match's first chance fell to Irina Uribe, whose shot sailed over the crossbar. The response came from Synne Jensen, whose effort flashed just past the post. María Valenzuela was also sharp to deal with a dangerous set-piece. The 9th minute served as a tribute to the late CD Tenerife player. The Catalan side dominated possession, though without troubling the opposition goal. Elena Julve caused problems in attack, but Viola Calligaris stood firm in defence. At the other end, an inspired Rosa Otermín tried her luck with a cross-shot that failed to find a teammate inside the box. 

Fiamma also tried her luck with a powerful right-footed shot that flew high, and Celia Segura let fly from distance, though with the same lack of fortune as her teammate. Meanwhile, Sheila Guijarro came close to latching onto a dangerous free-kick delivery, but the ball drifted out of play. Jensen and Gio Garbelini both tested the waters towards the end of the first 45 minutes, but the deadlock remained unbroken at half-time, leaving the score goalless at 0-0. The second half followed the same script as the first, with FC Badalona Women keeping hold of the ball while the Madrid side provided the attacking threat. Celia Segura played Fiamma through one-on-one inside the area, but María Valenzuela pulled off a spectacular save to deny the player from Dénia and keep the scores level. 

Lucía Rodríguez also got involved, sending a cross-shot straight into the goalkeeper's hands. With half an hour played, Luany entered the pitch, and it took Atlético de Madrid just two minutes to break the deadlock. Rosa Otermín had already tested the opposition goalkeeper with a shot, but it was Fiamma who clipped a ball over the defence for Natalia Peñalvo to control and tee up Jensen, who simply had to roll it into the back of the net to make it 1-0 on the Alcalá scoreboard. The visitors responded by bringing on their new signing, Zineb Redouani. The *rojiblancas* threatened again through Rosa Otermín, who was named player of the match. Fittingly, a free-kick delivery from the Madrid native led to the second goal. 


The goalscorer was Viola Calligaris, who rose above the opposition defence to extend the lead. Irina Uribe had a chance to pull one back with a shot wide, and Rosa Otermín tested the opposition keeper once more. The game could have been put to bed by Luany, but her effort missed the target. Fiamma also had a chance to increase the advantage, but María Valenzuela gathered the ball safely. The Dénia native went close again shortly after with a header, but once more the Catalan club's goalkeeper claimed it. Jenni Hermoso thought she had scored a third, but the goal was ruled out for offside. The woodwork also denied the Madrid forward, and Maite Zubieta was once again thwarted by the opposition goalkeeper, who could do nothing to stop Kathrine Kühl from firing home the decisive 3-0.
