The Mendizorroza stadium hosted the match that opened the fourth matchday of Liga F Moeve. Pere Romeu's side started better, dominating possession, and creating the first dangerous chances. Precisely, the first goal of the clash arrived nineteen minutes into the game. Patri Guijarro spotted Graham Hansen, who took on her defender, and unleashed a thunderbolt into the far post. The ball surprised Sofía Fuente and found the back of the net to make it 0-1 on the scoreboard. The Blaugranas could have doubled their lead through Ewa Pajor. The striker fired a shot from inside the box that Sofía Fuente saved with a formidable reaction. The goalkeeper also denied Sydney Schertenleib with a good strike from the edge of the area. The rebound fell to Ewa Pajor, but the forward was again unlucky, and her shot sailed over the crossbar.
At the half-hour mark, Carolina Ferrera found Ewa Pajor, who spotted Sydney Schertenleib making a run. The Swiss international made no mistake with a right-footed shot into the far post, making Sofía Fuente's dive impossible as she couldn't reach the ball. Before the break, Sofía Fuente, who made six saves throughout the match, flew to deny a powerful header from Marta Torrejón that was heading straight for the top corner. The finishing touch of the first half came from Carolina Ferrera. The Culé academy product, making her first start, collected a rebound on the edge of the area and unleashed a shot that beat the home goalkeeper. After the break, Laura Navajas and Yorladiz Díaz came on for the Vitoria-Gasteiz side, while Claudia Pina and Kika Nazareth also entered the fray for the Blaugranas. The first chance of the second half fell to Lúa Arufe, but her effort struck the woodwork.
The fourth goal of the encounter was not long in coming. Near the hour mark, a great team move was finished off by Claudia Pina, who joined the Culé party. Clara Serrajordi, returning after an injury, and Esmee Brugts featured for the Blaugranas, while Carmen Sobrón came on for the Babazorro club. With fifteen minutes left, the player from Moncada and Reixach, who was the MVP of the match, also spotted Sofía Fuente off her line and unleashed a magnificent strike that found the back of the net, one of the great goals of the season so far. And, in added time, Claudia Pina once again left her mark on the match with a shot from the edge of the area to beat the home goalkeeper, completing her hat-trick at Mendizorroza. A victory to achieve a perfect record in Liga F Moeve, and to consolidate their position at the top of the league table.
