It's Dani Alves with the ball and he passes the ball to David Villa, who catches the defenders in the offside trap off guard and he takes the ball up and he shoots in the left pass the keeper! It's a Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll! David Villa just scored the first goal in this match for Barcelona playing against Sporting.He has taken the lead for the game in the 22nd September!
The goal in the 49th minute by Villa was the only goal in the match and that had given Barcelona a close win. With the goal so early in the second half they could have scored a goal and made it even but Barcelona has some really strong defence to stop the menacing strikers in the other teams.
Although Barcelona usually scored more than one goal to secure their lead, in the first half Sporting was doing a fantastic job stopping Barcelona's strikes. Especially one from Iniesta who replaced Mess because of an injury. It was in the 9th minute so it would've been a brilliant goal.
This 1-0 win has taken them up into 3rd place because they had 3 wins and 1 loss when the two other teams in front of them had 3 wins and 1 draw each. If Barcelona had 1 draw they might've still been 3rd because Real Madrid and Valencia FC were just a little ahead on goals.
I think Barcelona played really good with their defence and if they had Messi on it probably would've been a 3-0 win I'd say.
In blossom today, then scattered; Life is so like a delicate flower. How can one expect the fragrance to last forever?
