The goals from Dragoni, Martina, Oshoala, Batlle, Pina and Mariona Caldentey have marked Barça’s firm step in its round of 16 of the Queen’s Cup.
The Blaugrana have scored six goals, with six different scorers, in their visit to Alba Fundación (0-6), a modest rival that this time has been decorated: Albacete has opened its Carlos Belmonte stadium (at other times, a First Division stadium men’s) to receive the league leaders, and 4,790 curious spectators have appeared in the stands.
Even with significant casualties – a range of first swords had been left fallow – the Blaugranas dominate the football scene with unquestionable solidity. Before the break the match was already resolved, dispatched with the first three goals, helpless as the Albaceteños were, surpassed on all sides.
Gone is the fiasco of last year, when an absurd mistake in the round of 16 – Geyse’s improper alignment – had cost them elimination this same round, after having won 0-9 against Osasuna in El Sadar.
