Barcelona turned on the style, thrashing Emelec 3-0 in the Clรกsico del Astillero during the second round of the Superliga Femenina. The Amarillas showcased their dominance at the George Capwell stadium, claiming their rightful place among the tournament leaders alongside Dragonas IDV and Liga de Quito, both of whom also notched impressive wins.
The goals came from the ever-talented Maylin Arreaga, who found the net twice (34' and 67'), with Lรญa Rodrรญguez adding another at the 61-minute mark. The margin of victory could have been even wider, a testament to Barcelona's confidence after their 2024 final appearance, while Emelec, newly promoted, struggled to find their footing.
With this result, Barcelona now sits on six points, matching Dragonas and the Albasโ the only three teams to have claimed maximum points from their opening two fixtures. Meanwhile, Emelec finds themselves languishing in the lower echelons of the table, having lost both of their encounters thus far.
Post-match, Arreaga expressed her gratitude for the performance, sharing, โIโm pleased with what was shown on the pitch and thrilled with my brace today.โ
