There has also been time for Giráldez to reappear two players who were returning after long-term injuries. One of them, Graham Hansen, has made a big comeback signing a real great goal. He has driven from the right and behind a wall with Aitana he has planted himself before Carbonell and has left her seated with a great twist to later define an empty goal. Minutes later Jana Fernández entered, after a year injured, for Mapi León.
