Noia 5-8 Barça: Victory in goalfest

Barça have won a thoroughly entertaining contest in Noia with some magical minutes in the second half changing the whole script.

The first half chopped and changed with both sides enjoying moments of dominance, but after the break it was 100% blaugrana, with three goals in four minutes almost immediately after the restart suddenly putting the Catalans well in command.

Noia had headed in after just a minute and a half, but within moments the game was back level. The Galicians then re-established the lead and Barça again tied the game, and the half ended 2-2 but could have seen a lot more goals. Instead, the real flurry was yet to come

Matheus, Antonio and then Matheus again scored those three goals in rapid succession, and then an own goal and a seventh for Barça put the game well and truly to bed.

Noia still felt there was an epic comeback in them, and they actually scored three goals to get back within two, and still had time to score two more. Instead, Pito nabbed Barça's eighth and that was the end of that. After disappointment midweek, this was Barça back in winning form.
