Barça Mobicat secured three vital points in a thrilling encounter against Carnier Torrejón in the División de Honor and extended their unbeaten run to seven consecutive matches.

Only two teams have won in Madrid against the hosts this season, but the Blaugrana produced a memorable performance to clinch the victory and that allowed them to move up to second place in the table.

The first goal

It took just three minutes for Carlos Muñoz to put the visitors ahead and ten minutes later Barça were two ahead when Justo Cáceres beat Molina with a shot that put them firmly in control.

Going ahead

Chico struck the post at one end that could have left the home team with a big job on their hands, but instead they went down the other end and reduced the arrears as Juan Puertas netted and that set up a dramatic comeback.

Cuco brace

Cuco levelled matters in the 22nd minute as Carnicer Torrejón started the second period well and moments later he put his side ahead and left Barça with it all to do.

But the visitors did not let their heads drop and the goals continued to come as Fernandao equalised for Barça on the half-hour mark and five minutes later Sad made it 3-4.

Fernandao wins it

Things could not have ben more tense and when Jaison made it four apiece with two minutes remaining it appeared that both teams were going to settle for a share of the spoils.

There was one more twist though as Barça's top scorer, Fernandao replied almost immediately with his 21st goal of the season and the Blaugrana's fifth of the night to give the away team side victory.
