FC Barcelona took centre stage in the great women's football celebration in front of the 11,647 spectators who attended the Heliodoro Rodríguez López. Costa Adeje Tenerife gave the champions' guard of honour to the *culés* for winning Liga F Moeve. Artist Abraham Mateo performed the honorary kick-off. The first chance of the match fell to Mapi León. The Aragonese centre-back unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box, but Noelia Ramos gathered the ball at the second attempt. In the twenty-third minute of play, Aleksandra Zaremba delivered a cross into the box, and Paulina Gramaglia got ahead of the *culé* defence to beat Gemma Font with a powerful header and send the ball into the back of the net. The Tenerife side caused a surprise. The visitors sought an equaliser, but Aitana's shot was comfortably saved by the home goalkeeper. On the half-hour mark, Violeta Quiles was sent off for pulling an opponent's shirt.
Patri Guijarro also tried her luck, but the Balearic midfielder was also unsuccessful. The home side remained impenetrable in defence, until just before half-time, Vicky López delivered a cross from the corner, and Esmee Brugts flicked the ball on at the near post to equalise the match. After the interval, Pere Romeu brought on Claudia Pina for Vicky López to maintain attacking intensity. The first chance of the second half was a header from Elba Vergés that went completely wide. The visiting coach also brought on Kika Nazareth and Sydney Schertenleib, and just after the hour mark, Patri Guijarro delivered a cross into the box which, precisely, the Portuguese footballer headed home to complete the visitors' comeback at the Heliodoro. Claudia Pina sought a third with a long-range strike that went completely wide. Sakina Ouzraoui and Yerliane Moreno came on for the home side.
Despite being a player down, Yerai Martín's side remained in the match, but with two minutes remaining until the final whistle, Claudia Pina picked up the ball on the wing, cut inside, beat her defender, and unleashed a right-footed shot that beat Noelia Ramos. The goalkeeper made a great save, but could do nothing to stop the *azulgrana* goal, which was a stunner. The final chance of the match also fell to the *blaugrana* side. Salma Paralluelo tried her luck with a direct free-kick that went over the crossbar to the relief of the home side. With the final whistle, the celebration continued at the Heliodoro. The youth team footballers paraded on the pitch, and the renowned artist, Abraham Mateo, performed live in front of the spectators who filled the stands in a unique event for a women's football match.
