Barcelona qualified for the semifinals of the Copa de la Reina for the fourteenth consecutive season after beating Real Sociedad in Zubieta by 0-3. The azulgrana, who maintain the full number of victories this course (34), sentenced the duel in the second act.
The game started in Zubieta with great intensity and an exchange of blows from which Barcelona benefited, opening the scoreboard after 10 minutes through Claudia Pina, who took advantage of a cross from Patri Guijarro’s right hand and a bad start from Elene Lete to send the ball into the cage. Real Sociedad had two clear ones to achieve the equalizer almost immediately, a shot by Amaiur Sarriegi after a filtered pass by Gemma Gili that Sandra Paños showed very skilful reflexes and another in which the striker took advantage of a long uncheck but ended up assisting in instead of kicking on goal.
However, it was the visiting team who enjoyed more and better chances to score the second of the night. The clearest, without a doubt, a Caroline Graham-Hansen’s post shot after a rejection of the realistic goal.
Alexia sentences the match
Barcelona put one more pike on their way to the semifinals with two goals from Alexia Putellas in six minutes. In the first he caught a ball inside the area to adjust the ball to the left post of the realistic goal and in the second he broke Gaby in the front to send the leather to the bottom of the net with a dry and powerful left foot. In between, the visitors had another clear chance with a Aitana Bonmatí hits the crossbar prior slap by Elene Lete, who ended up catching the ball in two halves.
The broken game gave rise to both technicians moving their benches looking to dose efforts. Especially when the downpour that fell yesterday in San Sebastián made the pitch heavier and heavier. The clash ended up falling asleep without further alterations in the scoreboard despite the fact that Jenni Hermoso had it with a shot to the crossbar. The crown stays in place.
