Master of debates, Barça multiplied the offensives. Alerted to its side, Lamine Yamal entered the surface but her razing shot finished his race in the small opposing net (31st). Just before the break, Alex Balde, very close to committing the irreparable after a disputed duel with Altimira, finally gave up his place on injury, in favor of Gerard Martin (41st). Embarrassed by local projections, Barça then made two new scares but took advantage of Raba’s imprecision in the last gesture (42nd) and a saving return from Raphinha (45+3rd) to keep his inviolated cage. Hanging on the break, the cups modified their eleven on the return from the locker room.
