Barça edge past resurgent Atlético 4-2 in Liga F

Barcelona stayed perfect atop Liga F, needing a late surge to beat a disciplined Atlético Madrid side missing Jenni Hermoso once again.

Allegra and Vicky Lopez in Barcelona kit celebrate win over Atletico

Atlético won 4-2, a result that keeps them top of Liga F with nine points from nine and a goal difference of 13-2.

Pere Romeu named a reshuffled side with no recognised centre-backs, and Atlético punished the gaps early. Allegra put the visitors ahead in the 9th minute, converting a one-on-one with Cata Coll after a defence-splitting pass from Fiamma.

Graham Hansen, largely on her own for long spells, dragged Barça level. Her low, precise cross was turned in by Vicky López in the 25th minute for 1-1. Atlético then held firm through a spell of disciplined defending and sharp transitions.

Romeu was unconvinced by the Seville display.

Romeu's selection problems go beyond one match. Irene Paredes has joined Van Asten on the injury list, forcing further changes at centre-back. Jenni Hermoso was absent again. The 36-year-old, who returned to Atlético this summer after four seasons in Mexico with Pachuca and Tigres, has yet to make her Liga F debut and was left out of the squad for a third straight matchday; instead her return is taking longer than expected.
