Sevilla 0-1 Barça: Aitana goal wins it

Ballon d'Or holder bags the only goal of the game in Andalusia

FC Barcelona made it three wins out of three, but it was harder than expected in Seville, with Aitana's second half goal the only difference between the sides.

Once again, the blaugrana women were vastly superior to their opponents but just couldn't get the ball in the net with the ease that they are used to. There were chances aplenty in the first half, including Ona Batlle hitting the crossbar, but the home side defended well and had a fine goalkeeper in Sullastres.

There was more woodwork to be hit after the break - twice in fact by Clàudia Pina - before Barça found their breakthrough via a lovely cross from Ona, a cheeky heel from Pajor and a perfect finish from Aitana.

Following the goal there wasn't much more story to this game. Another three points in the bag!
