Alaves – Barcelona 0: 1: Frankie de Jong is the savior in the end
Barcelona looked for a way to defuse Alaves’ defense for 87 minutes and found him through 1-0 in Vitoria thanks to a player who has been the subject of much criticism lately, Frankie de Jong.
When Xavi replaced Luke de Jong, the only Barcelona player who really threatened their home Alaves, everything seemed to be over. In the end, Frankie de Jong was the one who provided the solution to attack and with one goal he gave the win 1-0 to the Catalans in Vitoria for the 22nd La Liga game.
The “blaugrana” once again had useless possession and 10 unused corners. Except for two attacks with the Dutch striker, they found no other way to approach Fernando Pacheco’s house. The Basques also threatened Pere Pons but Marc Andre ter Stegen was on a good night.
The minutes passed, the substitutions of the two teams didn’t work until 87′. A substitution by Ferran Torres on the right handed the Spaniard out alone. In the small area he was forgotten and in the previous pass in an offside position, Frankie de Jong fed him and the Dutchman gave Barcelona their first win after three consecutive slaps (two of which were exclusions in extra time in Supercopa and Copa del Rey). ).
