Parity and shortage of chances
Equality was the general tone in the beginning of the clash between the team from Madrid and the Catalan side, however, it could well go to the Barça side in the first approach of Luis Enrique´s team. Munir did not succeed in front of goal following a great play by Neymar. Getafe reacted through Scepovic, whose shot went past the post of Bravo, but chances led to a shortage between two sets suffering to braid plays.
Sergi Roberto's backheel, Luis Suarez's goal touch
Neymar monopolized the most dangerous actions of Barça, which brought talent together to get ahead on the scoreboard in a single play when the match was going to the half time break with few occasions. A run of the Brazilian from the left side allowed to open spaces and, after a spectacular first touch backheel by Sergi Roberto, Luis Suarez finished against Guaita to open the scoring.
Neymar finisher
Passing through the locker room confirmed the improvement of the Catalans, who turned in search of a goal that would allow them to manage a higher income. And again the appearance of Neymar was decisive. The Brazilian hit to perfection another assist by Sergi Roberto with a first touch volley inside the box that left the match on track for visitors.
Sergi Roberto
Sergi Roberto deserves a special mention. Barcelona´s homegrown returned to the call after injury but became one of the most prominent men of the clash. He actively joined in the built of Barcelona's game and also was decisive with two assists with which he showed that he is in his best sporting moment.
Getafe unable to react
To be two goals down against Barcelona was too much for Getafe. Fran Escribá´s men tried to haunt Claudio Bravo´s goal, but failed to find spaces between the visitors' defense and were unable to react to a Barcelona that remains at the top thanks to Luis Suarez and Neymar.
