Barça B 2-1 Linense: That winning feeling

Barça B made it two wins out of two, and their first at home in the Primera RFEF as they saw off Linense, 2-1, with goals from Rodado and Jutglà quickly cancelling out Coulibaly’s opener in an energetic first half. Sergi Barjuan’s side held their lead in the second half and that’s eight points from the first five games. 

Before the game, the Estadi Johan Cruyff respected a minute’s silence in memory of Joan Martínez Vilaseca, a reference for the Barça reserves for almost 30 years.

The visitors piled on the first half pressure, and if Arnau Tenas had been to blame for their early lead, he soon made up for it with a series of fabulous saves, and once Barça B had refound their feet they were rapidly back in front with two goals in 11 minutes.

Comas continued to be the standout player after the break and Barça B will get the chance to continue their good form on Saturday away to Castellón.
