In a rollercoaster game full of twists, FC Barcelona were left with a draw that felt like a defeat. They had fought back, but Pe\u00f1\u00edscola snatched a point at the Palau. The 5\u20135 scoreline leaves the blaugrana joint top with El Pozo.<\/p>\n
Bar\u00e7a created the first chance through Gauna, but it was the visitors who struck early, Saladi\u00e9 firing into the top corner after just three minutes. Pito quickly equalised from a set piece but the first half was shaped by goalkeeper Miquel Feixas, whose saves kept Bar\u00e7a in it. Still, a controversial sixth foul allowed El\u00edas to convert a double penalty just before the break and give the visitors a half-time lead.<\/p>\n
After the restart, Bar\u00e7a pushed forward and created chances, but Lukas Acosta kept them out, until Matheus struck from distance to level the scores against his former club. The joy was brief, as Saladi\u00e9 restored the lead moments later. It was real end-to-end drama, for Fits equalised again with a fine finish, sparking a comeback that saw Sergio Gonz\u00e1lez and then Gauna seemingly put Bar\u00e7a in control with the score at 5-3.<\/p>\n
The two-goal cushion looked like ti was going to hold nicely, but a chaotic finale undid all the hard work. With Pe\u00f1\u00edscola using a rush goalie, V\u00edctor P\u00e9rez pulled one back and El\u00edas equalised in the final minute, denying Bar\u00e7a victory.<\/p>\n
The dropped points leave them level with El Pozo ahead of their decisive meeting next Friday.<\/p>\n
