Barça were chasing all three points but had to settle for a 4–4 draw in a thrilling rink hockey clash against Igualada HC. Trailing on three separate occasions, the blaugranes showed real resilience to fight back and earn a point that leaves them level with Igualada and Liceo in a three-way tie at the top.

Igualada were ruthlessly efficient in the first half, opening up a 2-0 lead, but Barça responded after the break through Ignacio Alabart from a direct free hit. Alabart then set up Barroso to level the scores before the interval.

The second half saw a back-and-forth contest, with Cañadillas twice putting Igualada ahead, only for the inspired Alabart to strike back, completing his hat-trick with a superb long-range effort to make it 4–4. The result extends Barça’s unbeaten run and confirms a tightly contested title race at the summit.
