Barcelona failed to win tonight at Alaves even though they had one more player on the field for more than 30 minutes. However Alaves managed to defend well and finally earn a point tonight.
Barcelona has continued with negative results in La Liga.
After two consecutive losses, Ronald Koeman’s team has equalized tonight in Alaves with the result 1-1.
Alaves were more dangerous in the first half and attacked several times, but the culmination was the moment when goalkeeper Neto made a mistake in defense that cost the visiting team.
From this mistake Rioja takes advantage to give the locals the lead in the 31st minute.
In the second half Barcelona risked the opponent’s gate a lot and had many opportunities to score.
In the 62nd minute Jota would be punished with a red card by Alaves and a minute later Griezmann would equalize the score to 1-1.
In the remaining minutes Barcelona was all the time on attack and had some shots like Leo Messi but the best case was the shot in the 85th minute of Pjanic which the goalkeeper expected.
This is Barcelona’s third consecutive game without a win in La Liga, after losing to Real Madrid and Getafe, while the team from Camp Nou is in 12th place with only eight points gained from six rounds played.
