In a very hot game from the previous one for the precautionary in favor of Robert Lewandowski, Espanyol equalized in their visit to the Spotify Camp Nou. In the middle of Mateu Lahoz's 'show', the 'parrots' joined the culé temple for the first time since 2009
The Espanyol put end the Saturday to a series of almost 15 years without punctual in the Spotify Camp Nou. Promoted by the outrageous referee's performance of Antonio Mateu Lahoz, the ones of Diego Martínez saved the tie thanks to a penalti converted by Joselu in the minute 73 in a party in which they did scarce merits to leave of the temple culé with a point of gold in the reinicio of LaLiga.
After a first part in which the 'pericos' as soon as they crossed the half of the field, the continuous interruptions and the irruption of the 'show' individual of the Valencian referee nublaron the ideas of a Barça that seemed to have all under control to 20 minutes for the end. A pisotón of Marcos Alonso, author of the 1-0 transitiorio in the minute 7, on the '9' visitor threw to the fret the work culé and gave to Joselu the opportunity to equalise the marker.
The forward pateó strong and to the half in front of Marc-André ter Stegen that launched to his left hand, sentencing an unfair tie apparently until then, but unappealable in front of an imprudent fault of the today reconverted side in second head office. The Barça tried it in the final stretch, but the changes of Xavi Hernández weighed really little in a totally broken party by the decisions of a Mateu Lahoz incomprehensible.
With the tie, the Espanyol goes back to give sample of his character in parties in where his game does not give answers. The ones of Diego Martínez arrive to 13 points and follow engaged in the low part of the classification (place 16 equalised with the Celtic of Vigo), but the point is really of gold, more when the defeat seemed safe in a field in where the 'pericos' did not add from February of 2009.
Joselu Emulated to Ivan Of the Crag for amargar to the Barça
The so much of Joselu did that the Barça went back to yield points home in the derbi Catalan for the first time from the season 20008/09, the one of the remembered first triplete with Pep Guardiola. The Espanyol, then directed by Mauritius Pochettino, imposed thanks to a doublet of Iván Of the Crag in the minutes 50 and 55, doing insufficient the discount of Yaya Touré to half hour of the end. Curiously, so much the Argentinian trainer like the Catalan forward was the Saturday in Camp Nou like viewers.
