Marcus Rashford contributed significantly to Barcelona’s comeback victory at Real Oviedo in La Liga.
Early today (September 26), Barcelona traveled to Real Oviedo’s stadium for the sixth round of La Liga. Coach Hansi Flick’s team was under heavy pressure in the opening minutes, but after overcoming it, they found chances to score. Marcus Rashford was twice denied by Oviedo’s goalkeeper Aaron Escandell, while Raphinha’s long-range effort struck the post.
Failing to take the lead cost Barcelona when Oviedo went ahead — a moment Barca goalkeeper Joan Garcia would rather forget. In the 33rd minute, he rushed out of the penalty area to intercept a long ball but lost control and made a bad pass, enabling Alberto Reina to score from 35 meters.
