On November 30th, Beijing time, the 15th round of La Liga matches officially started at Camp Nou with the lights on. Barcelona hosted Las Palmas, and despite their dominance in the table, the match was full of drama. In the end, Barcelona lost 1-2 and suffered a third consecutive winless game.
Early on, Barcelona's offense struggled. In the sixth minute, Torre's cross was cleverly headed on by Fermín, but Cillessen reacted brilliantly to parry the ball away, and 18 minutes later, Rafinha's free-kick came close, but was undone by a referee's decision to penalize him for a foul. In the 23rd minute, Balde suffered an accidental collision on the field and had to leave the game early, replaced by Gerard Martin. Late in the first half, Rafinha missed a good opportunity when his shot hit the crossbar.
On the changeover, Sandro Ramirez became the savior of Las Palmas. In the 49th minute, he took a pass from a teammate and fired a low shot from inside the box to give the visitors the first lead. That goal put Barcelona on the back foot.
However, Barcelona did not surrender. Rafinha made it 1-1 in the 60th minute when he burst in front of the arc, but Las Palmas soon made a comeback. In the 67th minute, Fabio Silva capitalized on a successful counter-offside and made it 2-1 with a solo effort.
Despite stepping up their attack in the second half, Barcelona were never able to break through again. In the 79th minute, Ferran Torres' shot was ruled offside by the referee. In the 85th minute, Rafinha's free kick was blocked by the opponent's wall. Finally, in the seventh minute of the second half of injury time, Victor's pass was blocked by Levan's adjusted attack, and Barcelona was unable to return to the game, defeating Las Palmas by a score of 1-2.
