Elvis brace not enough for Barça Atlétic (3-2)

Jaume Marcet / Anna Segura

FC Barcelona Atlétic were unable to overcome neighbours Sant Andreu at the weekend despite two super goals from young Elvis Onyema.

Luis Enrique's team took the lead early on and then drew level after conceding twice, but they had no answer when their hosts netted a third and took the honours.

Elvis scored after 21 minutes to put the Blaugrana ahead, but Sant Andreu had dominated the opening half as they pressed forward with their direct style.

Long distance

The opening goal from the Barça youngster saw him look up and take aim from now less than 35 yards out before releasing a ferocious drive that flew into the top corner.

Barça's delight last all of a minute though as Keko levelled matters and then four minutes before the break Sant Andreu took the lead through Máyor.

In the second half the visitors were able to equalise as Elvis dribbled through Sant Andreu's defence before slotting the ball inside the near post to surprise the keeper.

Having earned a way back into the match Barça then sought out a winner, but instead it was their former player Lanzarote who netted for the hosts and gave them victory.
