The Barça futsal team lost their first game of the season at home in the Palau Blaugrana on Saturday, going to a 3-2 defeat against an in form Manzanares side in La Liga.
Matheus put the blaugranes ahead in the contest before Robles levelled it up before the break. After falling behind again, Antonio’s goal seemed to have earned a point for the home before Khalid’s effort against his former club consigned Barça to defeat.
Level at half time
All started well for Javi Rodríguez’s team as Matheus gave the blaugranes an early with a powerful finish after just three minutes. Barça enjoyed several more chance in the first half but none were taken as inevitably Manzanares struck back through Robles to make it 1-1 on the quarter of an hour mark.
Fits enjoyed a chance for Barça just before half time but the sides went off locked together at 1-1. In the second half the blaugranes continued to dominate but still failed to find the goal to take the lead. Instead, Manzanares made it 2-1 through Humberto only for Antonio to bring Barça back level at 2-2 just minutes later.
Manzanares’ player Khalid, a former Barça man, stole victory for the visitors after Humberto picked up a loose ball and set him up for what would turn out to be the winner.
