The Turinese obtained a first opportunity with Cantore who presented himself against the goalkeeper, decisive in his exit (2nd). The start of the match was lively with actions from both sides and on a percussion from Maanum in the area, she served behind Russo who attempted a left strike from the entrance to the area on which Peyraud-Magnin lay down good (13th). It was Russo again who forced the Turin goalkeeper to make a decisive save (20th). The opportunities were more and more clear and a 20m shot from Fox was deflected with his fingertips above the frame by PPM (23rd). A collective action with a touch of the ball between Little, Foord and Maanum found on the right in the area ended up being conclusive (0-1, 38′). In the second half, the Italian defense was struggling. Fox found the bar (59th). The last opportunity to equalize with Vangsgaard failed in the gloves of the goalkeeper (66th). The Arsenal substitutes stood out. First Caldentey in a closed angle (70th), before she launched Blackstenius on the left who advanced into the area without being attacked and armed with a left shot at the near post which hit the mark (0-2, 75′ ). Hurtig then overflowed on the left then crossed in front of the goal. At the far post, Cascarino sent the ball back down the middle to Caldentey who finished from the left (0-3, 80′). Once again two substitutes were involved in the action of the last goal. Hurtig on the right found Cooney-Cross who crossed within 5.5m, Foord cut at the near post (0-4, 87′).

BARCELONE – ST PÖLTEN: 7-0 (5-0), at Sant Joan Despí (Johan Cruyff Stadium) – 2,852 spectators
Referee: Eleni Antoniou (Grèce)
Goals : Ewa Pajor 32′, Francisca Nazareth 38′, Aitana Bonmatí 40′, Keira Walsh 42′, Claudia Pina 45′, 52′ sp, Caroline Graham Hansen 87′
13 shots on target to 2, 16 corners to 0, 7 goals scored, FC Barcelona did not provide details against the Austrians who came only with two substitute field players! The hardest part was adjusting the framework for the Barcelona women because the opposing five-man defense was quickly destabilized. She cracked a cross from the left by One Battle cut off by Pajor with a furious right tackle at the near post (1-0, 32′). A corner on top of the bar from Marta ended up on the bar two minutes later (34th), a cross from Aitana was cleared from the top corner by the goalkeeper (37th) but the last Austrian rampart repelled a cross from Aitana but Nazareth 7 m inherited the ball and just had to finish from the right (2-0, 38′). Everything happened very quickly. Aitana, still in the game, shifted to the left for Vicky who placed a shot with the right boxed by the goalkeeper, the ball returned to Aitana at the penalty spot who did not hesitate to take over from the left (3-0, 40′). Then Claudia Pina and Kika Nazareth were recovering a ball which the second came out to Walsh 20 m away who took it again by opening his right foot (4-0, 42′). Vicky Losada, on a cross from the right, found Claudia Pina at the far post for a full-length shot from the right (5-0, 45′). The score was very heavy at the break but it continued when Dubcová cut down Ona Battle. Claudia Pina took charge of the penalty by opening her right foot (6-0, 52′). The last word went to Graham on the right who played a one-two with Patri Guijarro before infiltrating the 16.5m and crossing a shot from the right to complete the offensive spectacle (7-0, 87′).
