Barça 14 - 6 Parlem Calafell: Unstoppable

Barça's roller hockey team just keeps on winning, now fourteen in a row. This time they won 14 - 6 against Parlem Calafell in the Palau. Goals were scored by Matias Pascual and Joao Rodrigues (both 4), Pau Bargalló (2), and Helder Nunes, Alabart, Nil Roca and Sergi Llorca (all 1).

This game was due to be played on January 8 but had to be postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak among the team from Baix Penedès. There were Parlem OK Liga awards pre-game for Barça: Pau Bargalló and João Rodrigues, MVPs for October-November and December respectively, and Edu Castro and the coaching staff for best coach for December.

Even start before Barça took control

Barça took the lead in just the 1st minute, but Calafell didn't lie down and every time the home side went ahead the away side came back, with the score 3-3 after 20 minutes. A penalty and free kick then started to turn the game in Barça's favour, who went in 5 -3 at the break.

Second half onslaught

Barça came right out of the blocks looking to win the game, going 10-3 up with just 10 minutes to go. The goals continued to flow, however, and there was still time for Rodrigues and Pascual to complete their 4 goal hauls, with the final score 14-6.
