America Femenil fell 2-1 to one of the best teams in the world.
Beyond the fact that it was a friendly match, Ángel Villacampa decided to send the best possible team for this match.
The starting 11: Sandra Paños, Karina Rodríguez, Kim Rodríguez, Jana Gutiérrez, Nicki Hernández, Alexa Soto, Annie Karich, Scarlett Camberos, Montse Saldivar, Kiana Palacios, and Bruna Vilamala.
First half:
A very intense start to the match from both teams, with both clubs having clear scoring opportunities in the first 10 minutes.
For the eagles, Bruna Vilamala had two very dangerous shots on goal; the first one just outside the frame and the second one hit the post.
As the match went on, Barcelona took control of the game and generated several dangerous plays, but they exaggerated a bit with the touches inside the area, which gave the Americanist defense time to reposition themselves.
39′ Barcelona goal – Claudia Pina advanced the rival after a shot that was deflected by Karina Rodríguez.
The first 10-15 minutes were even and even a bit better for America, but the rest was totally for Barcelona, they dominated completely and if it weren't for the defense and Sandra Paños, they could have had a considerable advantage.
It's something totally normal, Barcelona Femenino is one of the best clubs in the world and came out with their starting lineup for this first half.
42′ Montse Saldivar was close to tying the match, but her shot hit the post.
Second half:
For this second half, Barcelona made changes to their entire team.
45′ Changes – Out: Nicki Hernández, Sandra Paños, and Alexa Soto – In: Nancy Antonio, Itzel Velasco, and Irene Guerrero.
The second half started in the same way, with Barcelona pressing the area and America trying to counterattack, but with many problems to achieve it.
73′ Barcelona goal – Salma Paralluelo scored the second in a one-on-one against Itzel Velasco.
76′ Montse Saldivar missed a one-on-one after a great assist from Vilamala.
77′ Change – Out: Annie Karich – In: Mariela Ramos.
78′ AMERICA GOAL – Scarlett Camberos brought America closer after a great pass from Irene Guerrero.
87′ Change – Out: Kim Rodríguez – In: Ana Pedrero.
Beyond the fact that in general terms Barcelona was better, America generated several scoring opportunities, we can talk about the fact that they let go of up to three clear ones in front of the rival goal.
Notable performances from Bruna Vilamala and Annie Karich, the best of America in this match.
