The FC Barcelona more effective of face to goal carries three key points of Vitoria to insist by LaLiga. The way is complicated, because so much Real Madrid like Girona stick to the first places, but the Barcelona want to do all the possible for 'hold' and avoid descolgarse definitively. Against the Alavés, in a party that finish with ten players by the expulsion of Vitor Roque by double yellow, saw the most authoritarian version of a team that, when has the clear things, does not cost him 'a world' impose of face to the rival goal.
The Brazilian was the attendant of 'sentence' the victory in one of his first interventions in the party. It has added his second target like culé and 'completed' the feat of the Barça in Mendizorroza, that had begun Robert Lewandowski and Ílkay Gündogan in a party in which, although they were not many the occasions (to dropper), himself was evident the effectiveness in the last pass. And it can be a solution of gold to face this second stretch of the season.
Irregular beginning and 'fortune' for the Barça
The Barça knew what played in Mendizorroza and that the only possible result had to be a victory, but is being a team to the that him 'slope' in each presentation feel comfortable. In front of the alluvium of drops, Xavi Hernández had bet by a change with Andreas Christensen like pivote for 'approach' to Pedri González to a much nearer position to the attack. Front, had to an Alavés that got in trouble, one and again, to the blaugrana without 'fortune' in the last pass.
To the Catalans cost him, more than the account, keep the possession of the balloon in the field alevista and carried the first fright to the 40 seconds of the meeting: Martínez Munuera signalled offside after Alone went in in the area and fell demolished by Cubarsí. Without the position irreglamentaria, would have been penalti clear. The Barça had to react prompt, but were the ones of Luis García Square those that were advancing lines for 'merodear' the area of, today yes, a very safe Iñaki Crag.
The effectiveness by flag for the Barça
The 'good' fortune for the Barça was that, in the first played elaborated, were able to break the area of Siviera. When Pedri delayed his position, found the balloon for propiciar a big combination with Frenkie of Jong and afterwards a Ílkay Gündogan that drove the balloon to yield it to Robert Lewandowski, that went in in the area and, with a small vaselina, surpassed to the guardameta local. They had happened 55 days from the last time that the Pole had seen goal in League, from the defeat against the Girona in December (2-4).
The goal arrived in the most necessary moment, because the Alavés had warned minutes before with a finish crossed of head of Omorodion and did not give by defeated in spite of going by behind in the marker. And it is that the babazorros proposed several alternatives to try 'win' to the put Alicante. Guridi Had an occasion of gold with a head butt, entirely only in the area, that repelled Crag. It went back to appear to avoid that it arrived Rioja to a balloon to the space and afterwards, to the edge of the rest, the balloon was cabeceado by White so that it fell him to Samu, the one who failed in his volley.
'Strengths' equalised in the beginning of the second half
Crag 'sustained' to a Barça that had too many problems to impose in the defensive actions and gave 'wings' to an Alavés that, in the resumption, began with a very clear occasion, but that did not know to take advantage of: Rioja had everything to equalise the marker, but his finish finish very diverted... And it left the open doors so that, in the reaction, between Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Gündogan put the second in the marker: The attacker won the ball, yielded to the '8' that controlled and saw how desmarcaba the Teutonic to command the balloon to the second stick and fusilar to Sivera with a volley.
The picture babazorro reacted immediately for 'avoid' that the celebration went immediate: Alone, that was being the most dangerous player when 'hunted' the balloon, firmó a big played by the right to finish commanding a centre to Samu Omorodion that, this time yes, commanded a head butt to win to Crag and discount the marker. The party gave no respite, because both groups increased the speed and insisted in advancing lines.
The 'roared' of Vitor Roque directs to the Barça
The Barça was the smartest in Mendizorroza and knew to have patience. In front of the annoyances of Gündogan, Vitor Roque ingresó to the terrain of game to strengthen to the forward and, as it had happened against Osasuna in Montjuïc, in his first participation in the game achieved to mark the difference in the marker and add his second target like culé in seven parties: Héctor Fort received in the area to command the balloon backwards and propiciar the finish at first and crusader of Vitor Roque to win, underneath, to Sivera. The culés put earth of by half the marker for the 'tranquility' for the first time in several weeks.
And it is that the target of 'Tigrinho' (that it finished expelled by double yellow) was a blow of cool air for a Barcelona group that, if by something had characterised in these last weeks, was by his inability to close the parties to time. The Alavés, that there was state very put in the party, stepped backwards that the Barça, although it could not take advantage of to put more goals, could go down revolutions and tie up a triumph that can be key in the career by LaLiga that, in spite of the feelings, still has not finish .
