Valiant Atlético came out, trying to take advantage of the rival's pressure to release their record. And he was about to take the lead on two very clear opportunities. The first was using strategy, a ball served from the corner that Maitane López extended at the far post and Rasheedat Ajibade headed high in an excellent position.

That opportunity, which came in the best stages of Atlético, was followed shortly after by another in Banini's boots. The Argentine controlled a good pass from behind by Bárbara Latorre in the area but, when it came time to define with everything in her favour, she found a decisive intervention by Misa.

The confrontation then entered a period of calm that allowed the madridistas to settle down and begin to intimidate the opposing goal. They didn't need much more to take the lead as on the half-hour mark Sandie Toletti, impeccably turning her neck at the penalty spot, headed in a corner and put the ball into the net. The advantage gave rise to the team, which did not suffer too much until the break.

At the exit of the changing rooms, the rain awaited the players, which would increase with the passing of the minutes.. However, before it turned from a downpour to a curtain of rain and even thunder rumbled, Real Madrid had already increased the distance.

He was able to do it as soon as he appeared in the locker room, when Lola Gallardo denied Caroline Weir's goal with an excellent intervention, who had previously left exquisite control. The hit that was missing in that one was made moments later by Ivana Andrés, heading across a cross from Linda Caicedo at the far post after a short corner.

The target came at the right time because, from there, the intensity of the water fall began to make everything more difficult for the soccer players. Despite this, Atlético de Madrid had no choice but to put on a brave face in search of a tie that seemed unfeasible.

Eva Navarro tried Misa first with a low shot that the goalkeeper blocked, but it was Lucía Moral who finally ended up scoring. The striker, who had just run into the crossbar, took advantage of a pass from behind by Banini to finish off at the base of the post and add some excitement.

Comeback and extension

The feeling is that this would not be enough. However, the red-and-white players had one last bullet, an all-or-nothing free kick. Banini took the responsibility and hit the ball into the top corner of the net to force extra time.

Given the circumstances, one would have thought that Manolo Cano’s team would face this extra life with more confidence. But the madridistas were able to reset the mind and show more physically whole, but this was not enough for them to score again. Only Weir, with a lob, came close to doing so.

Thus, it came to a final shootout in which Real Madrid was not accurate. Lola Gallardo stopped Olga Carmona and Teresa Abelleira’s shots and Sofie Svava sent hers wide; leaving the trophy in the hands of Atlético in which only Banini failed.
