Barça 3-1 Betis Futsal: Confident victory

Andreu Plaza's men defeat Betis in an even and hard-fought match

In the opening exchanges, the visitors played a high pressure game that made it difficult for Barça to get the out of their own half, and allowed Betis to steal some balls near the goal defended by Dídac. In one such instance, the Andalusians opened the scoring through Burrito in the 7th minute.

However, Andreu Plaza's team gradually settled and, although a header from Aicardo didn't go in, it was a warning of what was to come. In the 15th minute, Povill celebrated his first goal at the Palau in a league match. Despite dominating from that point, it remained 1-1 at the break.

Dyego's magic

Some magic from Dyego, who beat two opponents before scoring Barça's second, gave the hosts some impetus, but it wouldn't be until the last seconds that André Coelho made the game safe.
