FC Barcelona’s roller hockey team easily won its second pre-season match in Argentina. The Azulgranas put five goals past Mendoza’s U20 team (5-0) thanks to an inspired performance from Sergi Panadero, who scored three goals. Barça will play its third pre-season match early this morning (Catalan time), against Combinado Federal.

Superior Barça

Barça’s starting five was made up of Egurrola, Panadero, Miras, Torra and Reinaldo García. Mia Ordeig and the youngster Carlos García also got some playing time in goal. Barça managed to keep a clean sheet against Mendoza’s side.

The only bit of bad news was Sergi Miras’ injury. The player sprained his shoulder and couldn’t continue on the court. Miras will probably be replaced by Pablo Álvarez in Barça’s next match.
