Barça 32-30 Bidasoa: Back to the league with a win

Barça continued their excellent league form with a 32-30 win over Bidasoa at the Palau Blaugrana. The contest was the first at home for Carlos Ortega's team after a break of nearly two months. The game was a tight one, but a second half comeback saw the the blaugranes take the win. 

Good start for the visitors 

Bidasoa got off to an excellent start to the game and took an early lead. However, Barça did not panic and eased themselves back into the contest, despite going into half time trailing 16-15. 

In the second half, Dika Mem gave the home side the lead for the first time at 17-16. The rest of the contest saw both sides swap the lead before Barça edged ahead at 31-29 to then close out a 32-30 victory. 

The only negative of the night was an injury to keeper Gonzálo Pérez Vargas. The blaugranes are next in action on 20 February against Kielce in the Champions League.
