La Liga
Osasuna 1-2 Barcelona: Lewandowski saves the game in the 85th minute
Robert Lewandowski’s 85th-minute penalty saved Barcelona’s win at Osasuna in Pamplona.
Barcelona achieved an exciting victory with “Sadar”. 2-1 on her Osasuna for La Liga matchday 4 and still in pursuit of Real along with… Girona.
The Catalans had total control of the ball with more than 70% possession, but that didn’t translate into good finishing chances and real chances. The Basques were just as dangerous but at the end of the first half a Gilles Cude header put them back on the scoreboard and hit them mentally.
Xavi trusted 16-year-old Lamin Yamal in the starting XI but replaced him after the hour and made debuts for two last-minute loanees: Joao Cancelo and Joao Carvalho.
Another change was crucial, however, as in the 76th minute Ezequiel Avila defeated Marc Andre ter Stegen with a shot from outside the box to equalize to 1-1.
The pressure on Barcelona mounted but in the 85th minute Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty from Alejandro Catena (who was sent off) and secured the Blaugrana victory.
