Pina leads first-half rout

Barcelona set the tone almost immediately. Pina opened the scoring in the fourth minute, carrying the ball beyond several Real Madrid defenders before slipping her finish past goalkeeper Merle Frohms.

Real Madrid attempted to press early, but Barcelona repeatedly played through the visiting side’s lines and quickly turned territorial control into goals. Pina added her second shortly before the half-hour, reacting to a rebound after an Ewa Pajor attempt.

The forward then completed her treble by the 32nd minute, putting Barcelona three goals ahead before the match had reached its midway point. Graham Hansen subsequently finished a flowing attacking move to make it 4-0.

Pina was not finished before the interval. She registered her fourth of the afternoon shortly before the break, leaving Barcelona with a five-goal lead at half-time.

Barcelona extend lead and maintain perfect start

Barcelona continued in the same vein after the restart. Patri Guijarro released Graham Hansen with a through ball, and the Norwegian chose the simple pass across goal for Pajor, who converted in the 55th minute.

Real Madrid were unable to recover defensively or find a response against their rivals’ control of the game. The final goal arrived in the 88th minute, when Sydney Schertenleib struck from the edge of the penalty area and found the top corner.

The result sends Barcelona into their next league fixture against Real Sociedad on October 18 with 18 points from six matches. Real Madrid, whose record now stands at four wins, one draw and one loss, face Espanyol on October 17 as they seek a response to the heavy defeat.
