A double from Pina puts Barça's victory on track against the bottom team

The match that closed the day did not hold any surprises and the leader clearly prevailed over the bottom player. Barça recovered from this week's crazy draw (4-4) in the Champions League against Benfica with a win (4-0) thanks to a double from Claudia Pina and goals from Caroline Graham Hansen and Esmee Brugts. With effective football, but without many decorations, Barça added a new victory to its immaculate record in the League this season, in which it has had 15 consecutive wins.

Before the match, a video was projected on the Johan Cruyff video scoreboards with the farewell message from Asisat Oshoala, who has left FC Barcelona in this winter transfer window heading to the American league. And the fans also enjoyed when Marta Torrejón lifted the Super Cup title, won at the beginning of the year, to offer it to all the culés.

In this festive atmosphere, the game started in Johan Cruyff with a fairly discreet entrance to see the bottom player. As expected, Sporting waited locked behind Barcelona. When the Blaugrana team attacked, the Huelva team defended itself with the eleven players in the area. A bolt for which Barça found solutions through the set piece. When twenty minutes of the first half had been played, Claudia Pina opened the scoring with a great goal from a free kick that slipped tight and powerful into the corner of the visiting goal. Five minutes later, a penalty for handball gave the young Blaugrana striker the opportunity to complete a double, scoring 2-0 from the spot.

After the hour mark, Giráldez began to move the bench. Only three players repeated compared to the eleven against Benfica (Torrejón, Aitana and Walsh) and the coach continued to distribute minutes between the players. One of those who entered was Dragoni, who ten minutes later scored the 3-0, but the goal did not go up on the scoreboard because the referee did not consider it valid, despite the fact that he bounced clearly inside the goal. Caroline Graham Hansen's great goal would be worth it after a brilliant pass from Mariona and a brilliant cut from the Norwegian inside the area. The victory was completed by Esmee Brugts, already in added time.
