Barcelona Women returned with great tactics and determination that got them the equaliser by Paralluelo just 3 minutes into the second half to make it 1-1. Caldentey doubled Barca's lead in the 59th minute while Paralluelo scored her second goal in the 62nd minute to earn Barcelona a 1-3 win over Hosts Frankfurt in Germany.
