A comprehensive victory (1-5) for Barça Atlètic against UE Porreres. The blaugranes were in control of the match from minute one, going on to run out clear winners after conceding a first-half equaliser.

Total control

Barça Atlètic took control of the ball from the off and always looked a threat. Pau Socias saved an Aziz shot after nine minutes before a defender made a last ditch stop from Delgado. UE Porreres were looking to counter quickly to surprise the blaugrana defence.

The opener came from Barça Atlètic after 18 minutes, Cortés finishing a Brian Fariñas corner well. Just three minutes later, though, a Javi Cobo penalty levelled things up (1-1). The blaugranes were far from cowed, reacting soon after through Aziz, whose header from a Guillem Víctor corner made it 1-2 after 30 minutes.

Patricio Pacifico then scored a third before the break after a superb bit of wing play. Barça Atlètic continued to create chances, with shots by Aziz and Delgado testing the home keeper, while his counterparts only made the odd foray on goal.

The blaugranes continued to control the game in the second half. Diego Kochen made two key saves to help the cause – diverting a dangerous shot from the edge of the box out for a corner after 48 minutes, before showing certainty to snuff out a Porreras attack on 67 minutes. The fourth goal came not long after, Joaquín Delgado combining with Juan to score after 72 minutes, before Barberá completed the comprehensive win with a cute finish in added time.

Final score 1-5 for a much-needed three points to move within one point of the play-off places and a real boost to morale and confidence among the team.
