"Alright, the match kicks off..."
In the 35th minute of the first half, Mateo cut inside from the right wing, dribbled past two players in a row, then, while double-teamed, pulled off an elastico nutmeg to send the ball through.
The onrushing Ortiz flicked it on with his heel.
The late-arriving Hernandez unleashed a long-range shot from outside the penalty area.
Bang!
The ball smashed against the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the net.
Barcelona lead one-nil!
This is their long-lost lead!
The whole crowd started applauding; they'd been holding it in for too long.
Three straight league losses, who can take that?
Originally some fans had prepared a giant banner reading "Gudiola Out" before the match.
But now it looks like there's not much chance to roll it out.
Bit of a waste of the supporters' club funds.
But nobody really cares; with a good player like Mebarak, the supporters' club gets a hefty sponsorship every year.
They can afford to waste it.
