Claudia Florentino, a Real Madrid player for the last three years, was the main protagonist, unfortunately for her, in the match between Barça and Valencia. The central team scored two own goals in the first 21 minutes and put the game on track in favor of the Blaugrana. A night to forget for a player who ended her contract last year with the now second-placed League F.
Before and after Florentino's disaster, Barça ruled the match in their air, and this time Jonatan Giráldez rested Mapi León, Ingrid Engen and Clàudia Pina. The staging was excellent thanks to another display from Graham Hansen on the right wing. In this area, Barça overturned the game at the start and it was two of his crosses that led to Florentino's own goals. In the first he stepped on the bottom line before making the cross at the penalty spot. In the second, the pass went towards the balcony of the area and Florentino's acrobatic refusal made Enith's pull impossible.
Before the break came the third. Hansen appeared again on the right and Aitana Bonmatí, the shortest, threw herself to score with a header.
Despite the fact that the game was decided, Barça tried to widen the gap to be able to finish the day as leaders. Mapi León and Engen jumped onto the field and between the two was the fourth, awarded to the central team by centimetres.
In the preview, Alexia Putellas was honored for having played 400 games in the Blaugrana shirt, a milestone for the captain, who still has many good games to offer. The two-time Ballon d'Or winner had a goal to settle after missing a penalty against Sporting de Huelva and managed to recover by scoring the fifth from eleven meters.
The sixth of the match, the most exquisite of all, came after a free-kick masterfully kicked by Marta Torrejón. The ball cleared the cobwebs of the Valencia goal. The party was full for the almost 3,000 spectators of Johan Cruyff, and Barça, new leader.
