Deportivo and Barcelona Femení Level 0-0 After 21 Minutes at Riazor

In the 18th minute, Rosalía could not find Mayssa inside the area. Noa Jiménez then failed to punish a Deportivo error in build-up. A minute later, Rosalía crossed from the left and Caracas cleared.

The best move so far came in the 21st minute. Serrajordi played a through ball for Aitana, who crossed, but no Barça player was there to finish.

Barça shape and early scares

Barça started with Aïcha, Torrejón and Martina in defense. Carla Julià and Noa Jiménez played wide, while Rosalía and Aitana had freedom to move inside.

Deportivo almost had a chance in the 10th minute. Lucía Pardo was close to reaching a clearance, but Gemma Font came out of her area, with some hesitation, to avoid the danger.

Aïcha took a blow to the face in an aerial duel with Marisa in the 13th minute, and Barça's assistants came on. She appeared able to continue and was back on the pitch by the 16th minute.

Lineups and absences

Deportivo coach Alberto Rodríguez named Tarazona in goal. The defense was Caracas, Adri Ranera, Elena Vázquez and Vega, with Olaya, Redruello, Ainoa Gómez and Lucía Rivas in midfield. Lucía Pardo and Marisa played up front.

Barça were without Irene Paredes and Caroline Graham, who did not travel with the squad. Paredes had forced herself to play against Arsenal, and Graham played with a bandage on her leg. Both were given rest to recover.

Olaya, the home captain, and Torrejón, the visiting captain, wished each other luck at the coin toss. Madrid referee Elisabeth Calvo Valentín officiated the match.

Elsewhere in the same round of Liga F Moeve, Real Madrid hosted a struggling FC Badalona Women.
