Barça initiative

The hosts quickly went ahead 4-2 (min 7), but Barça soon took the initiative and were leading 8-14 by the 20th minute. Five goals scored by Aleix Gómez helped the Blaugrana to go into the break with a comfortable advantage (13-21, min 30). It was a difference that proved to be important, because after half-time Barça could only score one goal in 10 minutes, and eight in 23 minutes (24-29).

At this point the visitors were grateful for Möller's saves, which prevented the locals turning the deficit around.
