In the early hours of Friday morning (5), Barcelona staged a thrilling comeback in extra time in a La Liga match that seemed to have a clear difference in strength. With Gundogan's crucial goal in the penalty shootout, the team narrowly beat Las Palmas 2-1 on the road, thus jumping to the third place in the table. It is worth mentioning that 18-year-old Brazilian striker Rocky Ferrara, who has just joined Barcelona, scored on his debut for the team, and his footwork is really good.
Early in the game, Barcelona was hit hard, first when defender Zuau Janslu left the field with an injury, and then by Las Penmas striker Monya Al Haddadi. The mid-table team seized the opportunity and launched a series of attacks. Luckily, Barcelona's goalkeeper, Enakpong, was able to save a lot of dangerous goals, otherwise the team could have conceded more than one goal. The closest they came to scoring in the first half was a one-touch chance by Saji Roberto, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Barcelona's form picked up and in the 55th minute, Saji Roberto passed to Ferentolis, who equalized 1-1. In the 78th minute, Rocky Ferrara replaced Ferentolis and Barcelona's attack intensified. In stoppage time, Guendoujian was awarded a penalty kick, and put the ball into the net himself to make it 2-1. Nevertheless, Barcelona is still 7 points behind Real Madrid and Quirona.
