A 1-1 may seem like a dullest result when it comes to a sport like futsal, but nothing could be further from the truth in the match of the ninth day of the First RFEF Futsal that measured Barça and Jaén. The duel between first and fourth place in the table was tremendous and despite the few goals, the emotion was present from start to finish. Matheus, very protagonist, went from villain to hero, since the two goals that went up on the scoreboard were his: he put Jaén ahead by scoring on his own goal and leveled the match four minutes from time. Although it maintains the lead, Barça continues to show room for improvement, especially against leading teams that it has not been able to defeat so far this year: defeats against ElPozo and Palma Futsal and today’s draw with the Andalusian team.
Barça was the one who sent the first warning about the rival goal, but Jaén made them pay for it in the next action. In the 2nd minute, a corner kick put into play in the heart of the area impacted Matheus, who maliciously introduced the leather into his own door. Jaén was unleashed with the goal and Barça survived the following bars thanks to Feixas, especially in a very clear counterattack in which avoided Taborda’s 0-2 in the one-on-one. Finally, the Catalans became owners of possession, since the Andalusians withdrew and did not want to know anything about it. However, with a strong individual defense, they bogged down the offensive game of a Barça that again and again found Espíndola’s answer in shots from Adolfo, Ferrao and Coelho. not so in the Catella, who brought the spark that his teammates lacked, but his left-footed shot after driving crashed into the post.
Thus, those of Jesús Velasco they left at half-time without scoring for the first time at the Palau so far this season. The script remained stable in the second half, with a Jaén that limited its offensive actions to playing from the goalkeeper to the pivot. In one of them he was about to give the finishing touch to the culé team, but the Alan Brandi’s header hit the wood. Espíndola continued to do his thing, disrupting the harassment and demolishing Barça with endless saves. But, so much goes the pitcher to the fountain… Velasco put all the meat on the spit four minutes from the end, at which time he introduced goalkeeper-player. And in the The first possession with a game of five came the prize: Matheus picks up a bad rebound inside the area and inside. The marker would not move anymore, despite the fact that a shot from Ferrao made the Jaén crossbar tremble. Distribution of points that Barça knows little about, but that consolidates Jaén in playoff positions.
