Igualada Rigat HC 2–6 Barça: Colossal win at Les Comes

Barça have become the first side to win away to Igualada Rigat HC this season in what may look like a comfortable victory but was actually anything but. It was actually all wide open until the last two minutes, when the victors suddenly produced three goals make it 6-2.

The game is also the 52nd without defeat for Barça, equalling their all-time best such streak.

The blaugrana went ahead through Marc Grau, but Igualada equalised almost from the restart. In the second half, goals from Sergi Llorca and Pau Bargalló made it 3-1, but when Roger Bars pulled a goal back for the home side with 12 minutes to play, a tense final few minutes were in store.

Igualada charged in search of an equaliser, and would have got one had it not been for some top notch goalkeeping by Sergi Fernández And so to that final minute when three goals in rapid succession secured the win. First Pau Bargalló and then João Rodrigues twice, stunned a side that has not been beaten at Les Comes all season.
