Barcelona has made the eight LA Liga victories in a row after a comfortable 3-0 win over Osasuna in the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company.
Match report
This competition, which neither of them mainly involved playing at the back-end of an international break, was rearranged from earlier this month after the original fixture was postponed after the sudden and tragic passing on of Barcelona Doctor Carles Minarro Garcia. The Catalans brought him before the kick -off.
Barcelona is known for making fast starts in their matches this season, and they made one in one when they continued within the first 11 minutes. Alejandro Baldo supplied a cross from the left that was stabbed home on the front post by Ferran Torres, who made the eight La Liga goals for the season – and 14 in all competitions.
Not long after, Barcelona made the score on 2-0 in rather unconventional circumstances. They received a penalty after Dani Olmo was polluted in the area by Osasuna -goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, who saved the efforts of the Spanish midfielder of 12 Yards. However, Los Rojillos players were deemed to have engaged, and Olmo allowed a renewed state that made no mistake.
Olmo would then be forced minutes later with another muscle problem, which was the only low point of the evening of Barcelona. Fermin Lopez was his replacement and he created the third goal of the hosts of the evening, which came late in the second half. He drove forward from his own half before he scored the ball in colleague Robert Lewandowski, who scored his 23rd goal in La Liga, which expands his lead in the Pichichi Trophy Race.
In the result, Barcelona is three points from Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, where both clubs have now played the same number of games.
