The Madridistas took to the pitch with the main novelty of Laia López between the posts. The first chance of the match came from a cross by Athenea that the visiting defence cleared, preventing Schröder, the recent Golden Girl winner, from reaching the ball. Irune also had an opportunity, but it was Caruso who came closest to scoring with a thunderous strike that crashed directly against the crossbar. Eva Navarro also tried her luck down the right wing, but the Yecla-born player was too isolated on that flank. Pau Quesada was getting frustrated, and at half-time, brought on Beerensteyn to try and change the tempo of the game. Right at the start of the second half, a cross from Eva Navarro was inches away from being met by Schröder, who narrowly missed it. 

In the 55th minute, the first goal of the match arrived. A ball recovery by Andreia Jacinto in midfield was carried forward by Silvia Cristóbal. The defender passed it to Schröder, who tested Seweryn. The rebound fell to Caruso, who broke the deadlock. The Italian was the best player of the duel. The goal also sparked Paris FC into action, who threatened through Moguedec, but Laia López kept a clean sheet. A few minutes later, Schröder turned on the spot and found Beerensteyn, who extended the lead on the scoreboard. Seweryn denied Linda Caicedo a goal, but the Colombian made amends a few minutes later after a great pass from Schröder, who was once again a protagonist in attack, securing Real Madrid CF's first European victory this season.
