Barça qualified for the final of the Spanish Super Cup women’s soccer thanks to a goal in the discount of Alexia Putellas (1-0) against a very serious Real Madrid that had its options.
The tournament was presented as one challenge for both sets. In the case of the white players, for being their first participation. In the case of Barça, due to the desire for revenge after being eliminated last season, they have just started against Atlético de Madrid.
Its importance also lay in the fact that this ‘classic’ was the beginning of one series of four which will take place in the league and in the Champions League by the end of March. All this is still fresh what was played last December 12, which took Barça 1-3 after a great start.
With this idea of dominating from the start, Jonatan Giráldez’s team has jumped into the Ciudad del Futbopl de Las Rozas, although at times it was a bit lacking in rhythm. That and the goals, which in the first half were elusive in front of them a well-planted Real Madrid in his camp he waited sheltered in the area and generated uneasiness against him.
Rolfo was the first to try his luck in the fifth minute, but found one solid Miss. The same thing happened to Guijarro at the break, who did not know how to take advantage of a hand in hand in front of the goalkeeper. To all this had to be added a couple of head-butts off Mertens. Enough for Catalan women to be classified as superior.
The dynamic was repeated after the passing of the locker room, with Jenni Hermoso stroking the point in a flat shot that rubbed the post. The clearest was the one that had Rolfo, who failed in an unbeatable position and with everything in favor after the ball fell to his feet after a rejection of Mass at the head of Parets.
Barça’s advantage seemed to be getting closer and closer, but against all odds, Real Madrid has begun to stretch. Athenea was the first to warn, with a shot that went wide. And the closest Zornoza has been to bumping into the stick.
These approaches have alerted Barça, which has once again taken the lead. Putellas and Paredes have had them, however Mass again he has denied them glory with two excellent interventions. Given the circumstances, the extension.
But at the discount a dead ball in the area hit it against the Oshoala wood. Putellas caught the rejection and with a powerful shot defined well, giving his passport to the duel for the title.
