Madrid, beaten 5-0 in the league eight days ago, opened the scoring in the 8th minute through Olga Carmona and dominated the first period in the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium.
The defending champions Barcelona took the lead in the second half thanks to a penalty (53′) and a goal scored in added time (90+4) by Spanish international striker Alexia Putellas. Claudia Pina had just previously (88th) scored the second goal in favor of the Catalans.
