Ex-Benfica scores for Barcelona, leaves a special dedication | OneFootball

The Barcelona women’s team, filled with young players due to several absences, defeated DUX Logroño 3-0, with all the goals coming in the second half. Carla Julià, Kika Nazareth, and Vicky López scored the goals, and the former Benfica player – who watched Benfica’s victory over Racing Power from the stands – dedicated her goal to Laia Aleixandri.

With this result, the Catalans now have 54 points, maintaining a comfortable ten-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid. The Barcelona team is the most successful club in the Spanish women’s league.

Before kick-off, the Barcelona players took to the field wearing shirts in support of Laia Aleixandri, who will undergo surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. It was also a way to offer condolences to Marta Torrejón, who was absent due to the passing of her father.

The goal by the Portuguese international was specially dedicated to Laia Aleixandri, making an L with her hand. This was her second consecutive league match scoring as a starter, after her brace against Sevilla.

This season, wearing the Barcelona shirt, Kika Nazareth has played 23 matches: 15 in Liga F, five in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, two in the Copa de la Reina, and one in the Spanish Super Cup. In the 1,036 minutes she has been on the pitch, the athlete has scored eight goals and provided six assists.
