Tight start

Both sides were keen to give this game a go, and some top work from Barça goalie  Arnau Tenas ensured the visitors took nothing early on. Barça grew and grew as the game progressed, and the best chances of the first half fell to Juanda, Ilias Akhomach and Roberto but as far as goals were concerned, neither side was any the better when the half time whistle blew. 

Here come the goals

Following the restart, there was new verve in the blaugrana football, and eventually Juanda found the net after a tremendous run and even better finish after 62 minutes.

It was only after scoring that we really felt we were seeing the Barça reserves at their best. and a second goal always looked on the cards and eventually came from the boot oF Roberto Fernández, his first ever competitive goal for the side.
