The Las Gaunas stadium hosted FC Badalona Women. Before kick-off, the captains of both teams exchanged their personalised stickers as part of the ‘Amor Por Los Colores’ campaign. Just seventeen seconds into the match, DUX Logroño had a clear-cut chance through Flavine Mawete. A superb individual play by Salomé Prat left the African attacker completely alone, but inexplicably, the forward failed to score into an open goal. Meanwhile, Lice Chamorro tried to react, but the burgundy defence remained solid at the back. Miralles also saved a good shot from Itziar Pinillos. The exchanges were constant, and Falfán tried her luck with a long-range shot that went high. Again, Lice Chamorro tried her luck with a header that went wide. 

The Riojanas continued to search for a goal, and Marta Masferrer came close from a set-piece. And again, Mawete capitalised on a mistake by María Llompart to test María Valenzuela once more, who gathered the ball with ease. In the 34th minute, Elena Julve delivered a cross into the box. Miralles failed to hold onto the ball, and Lice Chamorro, who was the MVP of the match, pounced on the rebound to break the deadlock. The Paraguayan forward came close to doubling her tally with a shot from inside the box that sailed over the crossbar, to Miralles' relief. Before half-time, Isina tried her luck with a shot that missed the target. After the break, FC Badalona Women came out looking to control the match. Miralles and the crossbar had to react to deny Lice Chamorro, whose shot was already sneaking in. 



The first substitution of the match saw the introduction of forward Welma Fon to try and gain more attacking presence, but this was far from the case, and just five minutes later, Banini capitalised on a mistake in Catalina Ongaro's ball distribution to unleash a powerful strike from outside the area, making Miralles' dive impossible, leaving her unable to prevent the Argentine's goal. The Riojanas made further changes, bringing on Ximena Velazco and Mia Asenjo, but the Catalan side's defence seemed impregnable, until Salomé Prat, with a header, gave her team a lifeline in the match, but it was Irina Uribe who, on the counter-attack, ultimately made it 1-3 on the scoreboard. In added time, Ximena Velazco, with a powerful strike from the edge of the box, pulled a goal back, but there was no time for anything more.
