Cristina Collado

Barça Mobicat had only managed one draw in their last four visits to MRA Navarra but fought back
from 1-0 to win 1-4. They remain in second place in the Division of Honour.
MRA take the lead
MRA set a blistering pace and Cristian had to work hard to keep a clean sheet. A shot from
Pablo after an assist from Lukaian came close.
The best chance for Barça Mobicat came in the 8th minute when Fernandao hit the post.
Immediately after this, Eseverri set up Pablo to score at the far post.
The equaliser
Juan Carlos López and Igor both had their chances to equalise while at
the other end Cristian Domínguez saved a powerful long-range effort.
The equaliser came after top scorer Fernandao set up Carlos Muñoz to slot the ball in the
net. Barça’s second came after Saad won back possession on the left and passed diagonally to
Fernandao who fired past a helpless Juanito. Barça went in at the break winning 1-2.
Second half control
FC Barcelona Mobicat controlled most of the second half though only a good performance in
goal by Cristian – backed up by four shots hitting the woodwork – kept the home side
from drawing level.
However, Jordi Sánchez made it 1-3 fro Barça and the home team had to take risks.
Barça stayed firm and Cristian continued to shine in goal. Three minutes from the end, Igor
clinched the points with Barça’s fourth.
