Marc Carmona and his players have now put the pressure on ElPozo. The Murcia team, who play on Sunday, must now win to keep up the fight for the title , with only 3 match-days remaining, not counting this one, in the regular season.

Barça Alusport came away victors from a tough, but fairly dull, match. At a venue with lots of good memories for Barcelona - the Pedro Delgado Pavilion is where they won the Spanish Cup - the five-a-side team was made to suffer for their win, but it was always going to be the case. They were also without Javi Rodriguez, who remained in Barcelona with a slight injury.

Wilde put them on the right track

Although the game lacked tension, and Barça started erratically and a bit cold, they took the lead before the break, when a great diagonal pass from Ari Santos found Wilde, who made no mistake.

The 1-0 lead helped to calm things down for Barça, although after the restart there was still something missing.

The away team’s game remained a bit static and Jesus Velasco’s side equalised through Sergio Lozano, on loan from Barça, but the 1-1 lasted a very short time, as Ari Santos put Barça 2-1 up within seconds.

In a very tight game, Esquerdinha scored an equaliser, but Saad beat goalkeeper Cidao to make the final score 3-2 in favour of Barça.

Critical Analysis

For the Barça coach "the best thing was the result". Carmona acknowledged that the team hadn’t played well and would need to analyse it to find the reasons why, because "I don’t have any explanation at the moment. "It seemed like we had the game under control, but that wasn’t entirely true and we got a bit anxious”, he said, but he also recognised the fact that their suffering was minimised because as soon as Caja Segovia scored, his team responded.
