Canary reaction

The goal against did not discourage the players of Paco Herrera. They kept the original plan and managed to string together several attacks with which intimidated the home team. Jonathan Viera mobility and the speed of Araujo, with the arrivals of David Simon, were the main arguments of visitors.

Knockout punch

However, coming from the right side again, Barcelona scored the second goal. Munir made a cross, Busquets made a dummy, allowing the ball to run by him to Luis Suárez, who sent the ball to the goal top corner to extend the lead.

Neymar missed a penalty

Things could improve even more for Barcelona after the referee awarded a penalty for a handball of Alcaraz in the area. Without Messi on the pitch, Neymar was responsible for taking the penalty but missed the kick and the ball went over Varas´s goal. When everything seemed decided, Jonathan Viera, with a shoot that hit Pique and misled Ter Stegen, scored for Las Palmas and kept the pressure until the final whistle.
