Claudia Pina's goals are falling out of her pockets.
He scores his second hat trick of the season as Barça beat Sevilla (0-5)
BarcelonaBarça are now the sole leaders of the Liga F. The thrashing in Seville (0-5) was accompanied by a draw for Atlético de Madrid at Madrid CFF (1-1). A perfect Sunday for the Blaugranas, which served to close out a week in which the team was on the verge of losing. Alexia and Vicky López, both tempted by PSG two days before the transfer window closed.
In the end, there were no moves and both remain with the team. In Seville, they played and were key players, starting with Vicky López, who started and was responsible for scoring the third goal of the match. In the second half, Alexia came on, forcing the penalty that would result in the team's fourth goal. But the star of the day was another: Claudia Pina, who scored her second. hat trick in four matchdays and has established herself as the most in-form striker in the competition.
It was a smooth match in which Cata Coll only had to intervene in two actions, one in each half. Barça took the initiative (80% possession) and sank Sevilla from the start. At halftime, the duel was already on track thanks to goals from Salma, who opened the scoring with a free kick from the right wing, and Clàudia Pina, with a fortunate shot that touched a defender's legs.
Barça didn't speculate and with only five minutes of the second half played, Vicky López shot into the top corner after recycling a very good cross. Sevilla resorted to VAR low cost to try to disallow this play, as well as the penalty converted by Pina. But the referee stood by her decision. Barça also requested another penalty, but the images provided to the referee were blurry and unclear, and she didn't have enough evidence to award the penalty. Already in stoppage time, Pina completed the rout by taking advantage of a rebound in the area.
It was five goals, but the scoreline fell short considering the 20 shots she attempted, half of them on target. An offensive output that translates, after four matches, into a goal difference of +24 in the Liga F: 25 for and only one against. The next match will be the derby against Espanyol at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.
