Barça B beats Alcorcón, the surprise team in second division, as they climb to the 11th spot in the table with 29 points.

A goal from Kiko Femenía, two from Sergi Roberto and spectacular performance from Oier allowed Eusebio’s team to break their streak of four matches without winning and three without scoring.

Barça B only needed a couple of minutes to score this Sunday. Seven minutes into the game, Kiko Femenía beat Manu Herrera with a magnificent right-footed shot to open up the scoring against Alcorcón. It was a valuable goal for the team led by Eusebio Sacristán, and Oier made sure that his team remained in front with two fantastic saves. The first chance was a one on one against Borja, the second, on 34 minutes, saw Oier deny Quini. To the delight of the spectators in the stands, and perhaps less so for the managers, the first 45 minutes of the match were electric and intense.

Femenía had a chance to make it 2-0 but Alcorcón’s keeper saved his attempt. Rafinha and Dos Santos also boasted chances, but neither were on target.

At the start of the second half, Rafinha tried his luck again from outside the box with no luck. However, his teammate, Sergi Roberto, made sure to make it 2-0 after taking advantage of an excellent assist from Deulofeu (min. 49).

Just as in the first, Oier played an important role. He did well to save an attempt from Montañés to keep Barça two goals up. Anquela brought in Riera and Saúl, two offensive minded players, to try and change the course of the game. The substitutes didn’t have an impact on the match until after Sergi Roberto controlled a cross from Riverola and volleyed the ball into the back of the net.

On 75 minutes, Paco Montañés, ex-La Masia player, scored the first goal for Alcorcón with a beautifully struck shot that beat Oier at the right post. A minute later, Oriol Riera had a great chance to score the second but his shot went wide. In stoppage time, Saúl, a Barça player on loan to Alcorcón, scored the second.

In the end, Barça B managed to stave off the onslaught to win the three points to the delight of the fans, amongst whom was Sandro Rosell, to close out a fantastic night of football at the Miniestadi. (via FCBarcelona.com)

Subs: The second division match played at FC Barcelona Miniestadi to 1,985 spectators. Before the start we observed a minute of silence for the late Estanislao Basora exfutbolista azulgrana. In addition, both teams took the field with some T-shirts to support the French defender Eric Abidal of Barcelona, who must undergo a liver transplant.

Barça B rencontrarse with the goal attempt and victory in the match of the day in the Miniestadi against Alcorcón (19.45 h).

The team coach will have all available except Lobato, Tello, Muniesa, Ilie and Miño.

The set of Eusebio Sacristán will face this Sunday against the eighth ranked in the table, the Alcorcón. The azulgranas have the win if they want to return to the great dynamic that had to start the second round of the Liga Adelante, which added two victories in the Miniestadi. FC Barcelona B is in twelfth place in the standings, level on 36 points with Murcia and Sabadell.

The subsidiary of Barça rencontrarse not only needs to win, because it takes four games without a win, but also with the goal. The locals do not score from the match against Deportivo last three days, and also two draws and two defeats in the last four days.

Eusebio may have in this game at full strength except Lobato, who will be low due to an overload on the back of the right thigh, and Tello and Muniesa that continue with the first team. Nor will a Ilie or Mino, which continue low. Dongou, however, yes you can play with Barça B, as in recent weeks.

The game of the first round of the Barcelona B against Alcorcón was dominated by the azulgranas, but that was not reflected in the final score as the match ended in a tie at 2. Going back to last season, the figures are more positive for the children of Eusebio Sacristán. The subsidiary was imposed on the locals in the two league games by 0-2 and 3-1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, therefore, the meeting will not be easy. The Alcorcón is, in the words of Eusebio Sacristán, "one of the best teams in the sport." In addition, Madrid is one of the best defenses in the Second Division A, and are now in fifth place in less goleados teams this season with 28 goals in 28 games. (via FCBarcelona.cat)

The subsidiary visit to Sabadell Saturday (18.00 hours, Esport3) in a Catalan derby pits two teams tied on points in the standings.

Eusebio Sacristán: "We face a team that has arguments different to most sets of Second Division A".

Barça B and Sabadell have a very similar situation. Both teams have a similar game, and both accumulate 35 points in the league. Neither the subsidiary nor the set of Lluís Carreras able to win over their respective rivals last weekend. For this reason, the game this Saturday is a match that marked differences between the two Catalan teams.

The set of Eusebio Sacristán comes to grief Catalan after tied at zero in the field of Recreativo de Huelva. However, in 13 games played away from home, the azulgranas have only lost 5 in all so far this league. Still, the Barça coach said that the template is ready "to make a good game." To do this, Barça B has all its troops, except Miño and Ilie to be low due to their injuries. Eusebio has not Tello, Sergi Roberto, Muniesa, Montoya and Bartra to be exercised with the first team all week.

However, in the first round of the League, specifically October 1, the Sabadell won the Miniestadi with a 0-1. The winning goal was scored by Juvenal in the 40th minute that ended up deciding to target the Catalan derby. The offensive player of Barça B was Cristian Tello, who now plays with the first team. At that time, however, Sabadell was at the top of the Second Division table, "Then we were under construction and had no current consistency and security," he argued Eusebio Sacristán.

Despite the tie on points with Barça B, Sabadell is in the fourteenth position classification. Only lost two games at home to Valladolid and Córdoba and accumulated four days now unbeaten in their field. However, just lost the last match against Hercules 1-0.

"We face a team that has arguments different to most sets of Second Division A. Playing in a manner similar to ours and that makes it necessary to compete for the possession and control of the game," said Eusebio Sacristán, who also see differences between the two teams: "they, when they have the ball, have come to defend in solidarity, while we will seek to rival".
