Barça 3-1 Noia: Lozano scores on return

There couldn't have been a better script for Sergio Lozano's return to action after a long spell out through injury. He had already featured for a few minutes against Valdepeñas on Wednesday, but it was on Saturday at the Palau that he really made his comeback, starting the game against Noia and receiving a huge ovation from the home fans before not only performing brilliantly but also getting his name on the scoresheet with the second and probably most crucial goal of the 3-1 win.

André Coelho had claimed the first but Matheus Preá quickly responded for the visitors at the other end. And after the outburst of joy when Lozano re-established the lead, Adolfo finished off the job by scoring into an empty net after Noia opted to go for a rush goalie in the final minutes.

A memorable day for Barça futsal. The 'buffalo' is back, and three more points for the Liga collection as well.
