Barça Femení secured an important 2-0 victory away at Deportivo in Riazor, with goals from seasoned veterans María Torrejón and Alexia Putellas.
The match proved challenging in the first half, with the home team's strong defensive stance and goalkeeper Inés Pereira denying many attempts. Barça struggled to find fluidity in their final plays until key substitutions, including Alexia Putellas, revitalized their attack.
The opening goal came in the 63rd minute thanks to Torrejón amid a scramble in Deportivo’s penalty area, confirmed after a VAR check. Alexia sealed the win in the 79th minute, capitalizing on a defensive slip. The goal carried some fortune but ultimately secured the team's victory.
After 22 rounds, Barça leads the league with 63 points, ten clear of Real Madrid. This result underscores the importance of combining experienced players with young talents from the academy, especially when economic constraints limit international transfers. Torrejón’s and Alexia’s mature performances exemplify how experience fuels success in tight matches.
