Barça Sorli Discau win Catalan derby (7-2)

Sònia de Alba

In an exciting game against their old rivals Vic, Barca Sorli Discau put in a brilliant last 10 minutes to run out 7-2 winners after the game had been pretty pretty tight first 40 minutes.

The first half saw just two penalty goals, from Mig Ordeig to put Barca 1-0 up, then from Albert Casanovas to equalise

The second half started with Sandro Bertolucci putting the visitors 1-2 up before Carlos Lopez and Panadero made it 3-2, a score that seemed to relieve a lot of tension, with Reus dropping off completely and Barca running in four more goals.

Barca take the initiative

Alberto Borregán was one of Barca's main arguments in the first half, though the large number of fouls – 9-4 at half time, meant they had to switch their game plan around. Mia Ordeig took advantage to score a penalty, but Reus came back despite being a player down after Garcia saw a blue card and Casanovas drew the teams level firing home after Egurrola could only parry his penalty.

More goals in the second half

The second half started badly, with Sandro Bertolucci putting the visitors ahead, but the lead didn't last as just 20 seconds later Lopez made it 2-2, only to see blue later on and give away the team's tenth foul. Mirko Bertolucci took the penalty, but Egurrola was equal to it and is save seemed to stir the hosts on and despite Lopez missing a penalty for Reus' tenth foul, Barca surged forward and when Lopez set up Panadero on a counter to make it 3-2 the flood gates opened, Panadero made it four and soon after Teixido scored to make it five. Two more quick strikes from Lopez and Teixido again rounded off a convincing win that the Palau crowd much appreciated.
