Taradell 1-7 Barça: A win with authority

Barça enjoyed their OK League win at Taradell, Pablo Álvarez (3), Hélder Nunes, Joao, Matias Pascual and Nil Roca scoring their goals in a game which they dominated. Taradell competed well at the outset but once Pablo Álvarez scored his first (0-1, min 16) it was one-way traffic.

Hélder Nunes, finished a great piece of combination play with Pablo Álvarez (0-2, min 19), and Joao Rodrigues, after taking advantage of Pau Bargalló's assist (0-3, min 24), made it three before the break.

Intensity

In the second half Barça upped the intensity, looking for another goal straight from the whistle. Two goals arrived in the 30th minute, Pablo Álvarez chipping the keeper from a corner and Matias Pascual's powerful shot making it five.

Nil Roca joined the party with a shot from inside the area (0-6, min 37), before Pablo Álvarez completed his hat-trick (0 -7, min 46). At that point, Edu Castro handed a debut to 17-year-old goalkeeper Arnau Martínez. Before the whistle, Jacint Molera scored a consolation for the hosts (1-7, min 49), though Barça had long since won their 10th league game from 12.
