Barça started the year the same way it ended, scoring goals. The Blaugrana showed off against a quarrelsome Levante Las Planas, but could do little to avoid the biggest win (9-1) of the season. A match that once again demonstrated the great form of the Norwegian Caroline Graham Hansen. The winger, who scored a goal and two assists in the derby, is the top scorer (10) and assist scorer (10) in League F.
Salma Paralluelo only needed five minutes to open the scoring. The ball passed by Graham Hansen passed through the area and the Aragonese did not forgive to make it 1-0. With an overwhelming start, Jonatan Giráldez's team completely subdued their rival. It was an attack and demolition by Barça against Levante, reducing the danger as best it could. The great performance of a successful Nay Cáceres between the sticks prevented greater evils.
Despite the Blaugrana's superiority, the derby was interesting for the more than five thousand people who attended the Johan Cruyff on Epiphany afternoon. Among them, Markel Zubizarreta, who sat in the box for the first time since he left sports management to go to the Spanish Federation.
The minutes passed and the chances began to accumulate for Barça until midway through the first half, Mariona was knocked down in the area by Simon and she herself converted the maximum penalty into a 2-0 scoreline. Shortly after, one of the great goals came. of the day as a result of the combination between two of the best soccer players on the planet. Graham Hansen took advantage of an error in Levante's release of the ball, teamed up with Aitana and the Ballon d'Or, with great oriented control, beat Nay Cáceres.
Ferran Cabello's men did not give up and with the score at 3-0 they had their best chances. The first, against the former Blaugrana Irina Uribe, who went alone against the world looking for the first goal for her team, but Sandra Paños did well to block the shot and send the ball to the corner. In just a few minutes the Planense team would have two more clear chances to close the gap. Elena Julve won the game against Ingrid Engen and set up her leg quickly, seeking to surprise Paños, but the Alicante goalkeeper was very attentive again. After the corner, Jessica Martínez sent a powerful header over the crossbar.
They were Levante Las Planas' best minutes, but then Caroline Graham Hansen, the best of the game, appeared again to seal it. The Norwegian, recently named best soccer player of the year in her country, added a great goal to her two assists, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper with great quality and sealing the 4-0 before the break.
Barça still had a lot of gunpowder in the chamber and as soon as the second half started, two more fell. Claudia Pina scored the goal with a shot close to the post and Patri Guijarro scored the sixth from the edge of the area. Levante could only make up for the result after a blunder by Ingrid Engen, the Norwegian central defender's second in the release of the ball. Allegra Poljak stole the ball and beat Paños, making it 6-1. The Blaugrana's response came from the boots of Vicky López, coming on from the bench. And in added time, with the rival already completely surpassed, Patri Guijarro and Oshoala closed the biggest win of the season.
The bad news was the injury of Marta Torrejón, who had to leave the field of play in the 67th minute after being stepped on. Another casualty for the full Blaugrana infirmary, which this year is suffering especially in defense. Fortunately, Irene Paredes stepped into her place, returning against Levante to a call-up after several weeks out due to injury.
