The Catalan side officially opened the 2023/2024 season with a hard-fought victory at Madrid CFF. The Fernando Torres stadium in Fuenlabrada witnessed the first goal of the season, the work of Carolina Graham Hansen, which together with Asisat Oshoala’s goal in the final minutes certified the first three points of the season.
