Barca lost their first game of the season, going down 3-4 to Sala 10 Zaragoza after a late goal from Hugo finished off what had been a very close game and inflicted Barca's first defeat of the season.
Early domination
Barca dominated at the start and created early chances for Chico and
Carlos Muñoz, with the latter's effort going just wide. Zaragoza had less chances , but proved the
more efficient when Sergio put them ahead on 12 minutes and Barca, for all their pressure were
unable to get back on level terms till Chico equalised a minute and a half before the break.
Late winner
Just four minutes into the second half, Zaragoza were ahead again when
Sergio grabbed his second, but almost immediately Barca turned the game around with two quick goals
from Saad Assís and Fernandao. Euler then made it 3-3 with a goal on the break, before Hugo's late
goal inflicted Barca's first defeat of the season.
