The appointment was presented as a revenge for Barça, after their rival eliminated them in the semifinals last season, snatching the only title that escaped them in a season for the record. They came out so determined, with a push that left up to 3 goals in a first half where they were far superior. The first came in the fourth hour, when Jenni Bell served a cross to the second post that Rolfo headed for the goal of goalkeeper Lindahl, who deflected as best he could, touching the crossbar and Engel was limited to push. They immediately conceded the second, from an impeccable free kick by Graham Hansen, also the author of the third, and considered the best player in the final.
Atletico tried to come back, especially in the second half, but there was no choice. In one of the first approaches of the Catalan team, Graham Hansen put it on the second post for Rolfo to seal the fourth. And it was Hansen herself who scored the fifth goal in the 50th minute.
From here the pace slowed to give way to another great moment of the match: just after the sixth goal, the work of Martens, midfielder Virgínia Torrecilla replaced Silvia Meseguer and put on the captain’s armband, after two years of fighting cancer. It was the other big news of the final, the icing on the cake next to another goal from Martenas, which ended up rounding out the victory of the Catalans.
