Barça went from less to more to end up adding another victory in the League (5-1). McKenna tied Claudia Pina’s initial goal in the second half and made Villarreal one of the few teams capable of scoring against the leader, who in 23 games has only conceded 6 goals – out of the 102 they have scored -. From here on, the Catalan team unleashed itself and ended up beating Sara Monforte’s team with goals from Rolfö, Alexia, from a penalty, and a double from Salma Paralluelo.
Barça found Villarreal locked behind and giving them the ball from the first minute. The Blaugrana were chaining arrivals at Carbonell’s goal, with patience, maturing the plays and looking for spaces in the crowded rival defense. Bruna, one of the most outstanding in the first half, had the clearest in her boots, after a good recovery from Patri Guijarro, completing 200 games with FC Barcelona, ??which the young forward sent with all the intention to the rival goal, but Carbonell managed to stop in two halves and avoid the Blaugrana’s first. It was not until the 34th minute when the scoreboard would move for the first time. Alexia sent a pass between the lines inside the area for Salma Paralluelo and the ball ended up at the feet of Pina, who came in from behind and finished at will to make it 1-0.
And with this result we reached the break, with a Villarreal that could do nothing more than contain its rival. Sara Monforte’s team started the second half more fortunately. In the 55th minute, McKenna tied the game by taking advantage of a defensive mismatch. The Jamaican international entered through the center of the defense and beat Paños comfortably. It was Villarreal’s first chance due to the 13 shots that Barça had accumulated.
Giráldez then introduced the first changes and brought on Rolfö and Vicky López. And the reaction came. Alexia warned with a very dangerous shot coming out of a corner that Carbonell deflected with his fingertips and Rolfö sealed it with a real great goal. The Swedish soccer player sent a powerful shot from the left wing that poisoned itself until it found its way into the back of the net.
The advantage on the scoreboard encouraged a Barça team that had fun in the final stretch of the match. Alexia scored the third from the penalty spot after being knocked down inside the area and Salma Paralluelo, with a double, sealed the win, tying with Graham Hansen as the top scorers in the F League, with 17 goals each.
