Barça Sorli Discau made a hard match against Vilanova look easy. They were strong all the way and only looked vulnerable early in the second half, when Vilanova got their first goal, while their second followed a red card shown to Marc Torra with 21 seconds to go.

Effective

Marc Torra took just one minute and 13 seconds to beat Luis Gil, an early lead that Barcelona defended well before Torra got his second, and would have made it a hat-trick if he hadn’t missed a penalty. Instead, it was down to Carlos López to make it 3-0 from the penalty spot. Vilanova also missed a penalty before the break.

Under control

The home win didn’t look in doubt, but the visitors started creating pressure in the second half, and after squandering several chances, finally got on the scoresheet thanks to Francesc Gil. But by then there were only seven minutes left, and it was game over once Panadero had responded at the other end to make it 4-1. Just before the end, Torra was red carded, and Bartrés struck home the direct free to establish the definitive 4-2.
