Burela 3-4 Barça: Incredible comeback

Tino Pérez's side are staring defeat in the face with 28 seconds to go, but two goals in 17 seconds earn three very important points

A superb 3-4 win for Barça at Burela. A tough game ultimately ended in a victory as the team rolled their sleeves up to come through at the last, an Adolfo finish plus a Charly own goal turning the result round when there was only 28 seconds remaining.

Leading at halftime

Barça began well as Matheus provided a great assist for Dyego to open the scoring early (0-1, min 3). Play was somewhat stodgy though, and Burela took one of their few chances in the half to equalise through Charly after a blaugrana error (1-1, min 7).

This woke up Tino Pérez's side though, Adolfo and Dyego pushing hard, before Antonio hit the post (min 10). Ultimately Sergio González finished a Lozano corner and his side went in ahead at the break (1-2, min 15).

Burela come back

Both sides had chances after the restart, and both Kaluza and Dídac had to stand firm. However, Burela grew into the game and took the lead, first when Junhinho finished a good counterattack (2-2, min 30), before Rikelme fired in (3-2, min 35).

Turnaround in 17 seconds

There were still five minutes left for Barça and although chances came when Matheus played as the fly keeper, the elusive goal wouldn't come.

However, with 27.5 seconds to go, Adolfo finished a Martel assist at the near post to tie up the match (3-3, min 40). Then after a time out, a shot by Dyego deflected in off Charly to make it 3-4 with only 10.6 seconds to go (min 40).

Aware of how important the win was, Barça celebrated wildly, and the victory is a real boost to morale for a team with the league title in their sights.
