The Alaves achieved a valuable draw against Barcelona (1-1), in the first meeting with Sergi Barjuan on the bench of the Barça team after the dismissal on Wednesday of Ronald Koeman as a coach.
The night started with local dominance and sivera -substitute for Pacheco– saving his team with a stop under the sticks to the head of Eric García. The header was flawless, but the meta slime did it perfectly. Those of Javi calleja they replied with a head of Edgar to pass from Duarte to serve from a foul, but the Tenerife striker failed to direct his shot towards the goal when without much danger.
Before the first part was over, the ‘Kun’ Agüero it had to be replaced by a dizziness that took him to the grass. The Argentine needed the doctors and chose to leave the pitch in favor of Coutinho. The new culé player ended up in the hospital for the protocols to stay under observation.
In the second half came the goals. First it was Barça who hit with a shot from Memphis Depay, a spectacular shot that opened the horizon for the Catalans. It seemed that everything was controlled and that Sergi would have a comfortable debut, but it was not like that. Three minutes later the 1-1 came after a great play by Joselu and Luis Rioja.
The quick response, with a wall of pencils, allowed the people of Vitoria to regroup and get a slice of their order in this final act.
