A tense battle unfolded at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium as Barça faced a formidable Costa Adeje Tenerife side, currently sitting fourth in Liga F. Already crowned champions, Barça Femenino secured a hard-fought 1-3 victory, pushing their points tally to 81 with six games remaining.
The match drew a passionate crowd on the island, with Barça’s presence sparking excitement. However, Pere Romeu’s squad started sluggishly, struggling to break through a well-organized Tenerife defense—the second-least conceded in the league, behind only Barça. The visitors, fielding a near-full-strength lineup, lacked clear chances and occasionally faltered defensively.
A difficult start saw Barça concede in the 20th minute, as Gramaglia headed home a challenging ball past goalkeeper Gemma Font, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Tenerife’s disciplined structure left Barça searching for answers.
The turning point came in the 33rd minute when Violeta Quiles was shown a straight red card after a VAR review for pulling Vicky López’s hair. Despite being a player down, the islanders continued to defend resiliently. Finally, in first-half stoppage time, Barça equalized: Brugts flicked a corner into the near post, and Alexia put the ball into the net from close range.
After the break, Tenerife maintained their defensive resolve but physical fatigue began to show. In the 66th minute, just two minutes after coming on, Kika Nazareth powered in a header from Patri’s brilliant cross to put Barça ahead. The Blaugrana controlled the remainder of the match, and Claudia Pina sealed the win in the 88th minute with a trademark rocket strike.
