In the 13th round of LaLiga, Barcelona players hosted Alaves. The guests from Vitoria came to the Olympic Stadium in a great mood, after the triumph over Almeria in the previous rounds.
They were close to a positive result tonight as well, going into halftime with a goal advantage, but in the end succumbed to the striking power of Xavi’s team – Robert Lewandowski. Two goals from the Polish representative brought a turnaround for the home team – 2:1.
Already in the first minute, Samu Omorodion silenced the home fans. The Barcelona supporters were left in shock when the lad born in 2004 reacted brilliantly after an assist from Lopez, I went in front of Ter Stegen and scored for the lead.
For a long time, the guests resisted the onslaught of the favorites, but the defensive line capitulated in the 53rd minute of the match. Kounde crossed from the right flank, and then followed the true mastery of Robert Lewandowski. A not so usable cross was turned into an assist by the experienced Pole. He jumped and lucidly kicked with his head. The ball ended up in Alaves’ net.
The final score was set in the 77th minute. Abdelkabir “Abdel” Abqar started carelessly inside the penalty area and the referee immediately pointed with his hand to the penalty spot. Lewandowski took responsibility and then routinely executed a penalty kick.
Barcelona is currently the third-placed team in the league with 30 points won, while Alaves is in 14th position with 12 points.
