Reus win at the Palau (2-4)

Sònia de Alba

Despite an excellent Aitor Egurrola, Tecnol Reus have beaten Barça Sorli Discau. It was all-square at half time, but Reus took their chances in the second half.

With Vic beating Liceo, Barça squandered a great chance today and Reus’ win now means they are the new joint leaders. The sides showed plenty of respect for each other early on, perhaps too much, until Marc Gual opened the scoring for the visitors and some great keeping from Aitor Egurrola made sure they didn’t add a second.

Further woes when Alberto Borregán went off with an injured hand in an incident that led to a penalty that Mia Ordeig failed to convert. After failing on nineteen scoring attempts, Barça finally equalised through Reinaldo García, and the half ended 1-1.

Critical moments

The second half began with Xavi Caldú putting the visitors in front again, and with Barça desperate not to give away a tenth foul, Gual stepped up to make it 1-3. Barça made three changes, but when Nalo missed the second penalty of the day, it clearly just wasn’t their day.

Reus make it four

Barcelona were in trouble, and when Caldú made it four, it was game over. Borregán managed to pull one back to make it 2-4, but there were only six minutes left, and just not enough time to right the wrong.
