Igualada 2-2 Barça: Quick fightback

Barça remains unbeaten in the OK Liga following a hard-fought draw at the home of Igualada Rigat. The hosts took a 2-0 lead, but David Cáceres' charges sprung back with goals from Pablo Álvarez and Ignacio Alabart to secure a point at Les Comes. Though this marks Barça's first dropped points after 18 straight wins, they remain league leaders.

Strong start, no reward

Igualada's goalkeeper, Guillem Torrents, was key to the draw with crucial saves, otherwise Barça could have turned their early domination into goals. Alabart, Marc Grau, and Álvarez (who missed a penalty) came close before Roger Bars put Igualada ahead with a powerful free-hit.

Comeback effort

Edu Fernández doubled Igualada's lead on 26 minutes, but Barça responded instantly. Álvarez and Alabart both scored within a minute. Eloi Cervera nearly completed the comeback, but Torrents stood firm.

Both teams had late chances, including missed direct free hits by Joel Roma and Alabart, but the score remained 2-2. Despite Barça's final push, Torrents ensured the points were shared.
