The Football Club Barcelona had a hard-fought victory against Elche as the club came from a goal down to claim a 1-2 victory in their Sunday evening La Liga Santander tier.
The Catalans started the game with full confidence having won their last three consecutive matches but Elche proved to be a stronger side as they netted Barcelona FC a minute before the referee blew the halftime whistle.
Barcelona attackers that have proven to be fearless this year with the help of their new signings found it difficult to break Elche’s defence until late minutes of the second half.
It took the Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez a tactical substitute before his team was able to turn the game on its head. The coach in his tactical input into the game brought in Ferran Torres for Gavi, he would then go on to score the equalizer goal for the Catalans in the 60th minute of the game.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who was on scoring streaks, scoring 5 goals in four matches for the catalan started the game but he found it difficult to find the back of the net in the game.
He was, however, removed and replaced by Memphis Depay who converted Barcelona’s penalty to seal the victory for the Spanish giant in 84th minutes.
