Victory at Vic (1-3)
Sònia de Alba
Barça Sorli Discau has beaten Vic 1-3 away in the one before last round of European League games. The win isn’t decisive for Barça who need to win or draw their last match at the Palau against Valdagno.
Quim Paüls’s men have beaten Roncato Patín Vic away in a game between Europe’s top two
sides. Barça were more effective in front of goal as Sergi Panadero and then Miquel Masoliver
scored in the first half. At the start of the second, Lluís Teixidó rounded off a counterattack to
make it three nil, while home side captain ‘Titi’ Roca pulled one back.
In an exciting game, Pana, Maso and Teixi put Barça into a virtually unassailable lead at 0-3
which they simply needed to defend to win away at Vic.
The win doesn’t mean Barça Sorli Discau are through to the Final Eight, as they need to
win or draw with Valdagno in their last regular season game. Vic have to beat bottom of the table
Iserlohn from Germany to get through.
Intense start
Both Roncato Patí Vic and Barça Sorli Discau went looking for goals right from the start as
neither side wanted to leave anything to chance.
They were playing tough in defence as well. Sergi Panadero battled with Jordi Adroher and the
referees awarded a penalty to Vic (3’). Adroher himself took it only to see his drive saved
by Egurrola.
Panadero first
With the game being played at a high tempo, Barça broke and Sergi Panadero swept in from the
right to beat Sergi Fernández with a low shot. Vic almost pulled one back straight away but Romà
Bancells couldn’t beat Aitor Egurrola in a one-on-one.
Masoliver on a roll
The game was still being played at a 100 miles per hour as Jordi Adroher showed his skills
with a shot that the visitor’s keeper did well to push aside. Miquel Masoliver then picked up
the ball and fired home from a narrow angle to make it two nil to Barça.
Teixidó gets in on the act
Barça promptly scored their third in the second half. Once again they hit on the break after
a Vic attack as Lluís Teixidó beat Sergi Fernández in another one-on-one. The home side knew they
were in trouble and tempers became a little frayed.
Vic stays in the game
But Roncato Patí Vic didn’t throw in the towel and continued to push forward until
finally ‘Titi' Roca found the net to cut the visitors lead. The last few moments of the game
were a tense affair. Egurrola was superb in the Barça goal and kept out a barrage of attempts from
the home side. Panadero had a penalty to add to Barça’s lead but saw his shot saved by
Fernández. Vic kept up the pressure right to the end but Barça held on to run out winners by three
goals to one.
