A fantastic match at the Johan Cruyff to conclude Matchday Saturday of Liga F Moeve. Pere Romeu's side started better and had the first chance of the game with a cross into the box from Graham Hansen which Xènia Pérez cleared, but the ball went directly towards her own goal, where Lola Gallardo prevented a potential own goal with a great save on the line. The first goal of the match arrived nine minutes into the game. A long ball from Fiamma Benítrz found Allegra Poljak, who went through one-on-one against Cata Coll, beating her with a great shot that hit the post before going in to make it 0-1. The Blaugranas didn't take long to respond. Graham found Vicky López inside the area, and the forward from Vallecas made no mistake, restoring parity with a great finish that left the visiting goalkeeper with no chance.
Before the break, Ewa Pajor could have completed the comeback for the Culés, but Xènia Pérez, on the goal line, once again saved the day. With the score at 1-1, the match went into half-time. After the restart, FC Barcelona took just four minutes to take the lead. A cross from Claudia Pina was headed home by Esmee Brugts. The Dutch international was the MVP of the match. In the 54th minute, Allegra Poljak spotted the run of Lucía Rodríguez, who found Synne Jensen at the far post. The Norwegian forward made no mistake to level the score. The tension was high, and the match was perfectly balanced at the Johan Cruyff stadium, until, just past the hour mark, a cross from Claudia Pina was met at the far post by Graham Hansen, who scored to put the Blaugranas ahead. After the goal, Pere Romeu brought on Marta Torrejón to secure the result for his team.
Academy graduates Caroline Ferrera and Lúa Arufe were also introduced to freshen up the Culé side. The visitors could have equalised through Henrietta Csiszár, but Martina Fernández cleared the midfielder's shot. Meanwhile, the Madrid side's problems mounted with the injury to Lola Gallardo. Génesis Pérez came on in her place. The new goalkeeper then saved a header from Ewa Pajor. However, the ball fell to Esmee Brugts at the far post. The Dutch player, who was the MVP of the duel, made no mistake to seal the final 4-2 scoreline. The Rojiblanco team pushed in the final stages of the match but could not change the score. The final whistle confirmed the victory for Pere Romeu's side, who remain in 1st position in Liga F Moeve with 9 points, while Atlético de Madrid sits 10th with 3 points.
