First step to the title (5-0)
Sònia de Alba
Barça Sorli Discau took the first step towards winning the OK Liga as they defeated Coinasa Liceo comfortably in the first of the best of five final as Panadero netted twice in the Palau Blaugrana.
Quim Paüls' side were keen to make a strong start to the series and they used home advantage to
send out a message that they can be considered to be the favourites to win the trophy as they kept
a clean sheet at one end and found the route to goal on a regular basis at the other.
Strong start
The home team started well and it only took them two minutes to make the breakthrough
as David Páez sent the ball past Llaverola in the Coinasa goal moments after Panadero had struck
the post with a shot.
In minute four, Panadero made up for his misfortune as he added Barça second and the
Blaugrana were in command on the court and on the scoreboard.
Moving forward
Ordeig then saw his penalty effort saved by the keeper and Reinaldo García and Jordi Bargalló
combined well as the visitors sought to pull themselves back into proceedings by launching forward
movements of their own.
Just before half-time
Shortly before the break, Barça put the game almost beyond reach as they netted a
third goal tat came as Carlos López won possession and then beat Llaverola with an impressive
effort.
Intense second half
Egurrola held strong at the back for FC Barcelona as he prevented the away team
from denting his team's confidence and that helped ensure that the outfield players could relax and
play hockey the way that the know how.
The hosts' keeper earned himself some plaudits eight minutes into the second half when he
saved a penalty from Reinaldo García.
Two more
Having had to chase the ball and the game, Coinasa Liceo suffered from tiredness in
the closing minutes and Panadero was able to take advantage of that as he scored on the break.
Within 40 seconds a fifth had gone past Llaverola as Teixido netted and the visitors were
already looking to the second game to try and salvage something.
