CHAPTER 249: Barcelona (3) - (1) Mallorca [analysis]


Alternative Title:
First Win of the Year (2009)

Positives
  • A win obtained by Barça.
  • It is now the 5th straight win by Barça in the league ever since the 1 – 1 draw against Getafe.
  • Another positive point to make also is that Barça has been unbeaten in the league for the past16 games.
  • Another comeback win (after one goal down).
  • Henry scored the first goal. Adds his goal tally in La Liga.
  • Barcelona equalized in a short period after the opposition opened the scores.
  • Iniesta scored the second goal, and he’s back!
  • Excellent goal from Yaya Toure! The dribbling and that powerful shot blasted into goal! He redeemed himself for the mistakes he made in the first half. Great confidence booster for the Ivorian (I'm sure he 'redeemed' himself on the goal conceded).
  • Good pass from Eto’o to Toure after which Toure scored.

Negatives
  • Conceded a goal.
  • The goal conceded was from a mishap from Yaya Toure, and plus Victor Sanchez perhaps did not do excellent enough in stopping Aduriz. Also, it seemed like both Sanchez and Toure got mixed up or got in each other’s way as they tried to stop Aduriz from running into a chance and scoring.
