Match Result

Alaves Stuns Barcelona with a Narrow Victory

In a surprising twist in La Liga, Alaves secured a 1-0 victory over Barcelona, marking a significant upset in the 36th round of the season. The only goal of the match came from I. Diabate just before halftime, assisted by A. Blanco, which proved to be enough to clinch the win.

Despite Barcelona dominating possession with 77% and attempting 8 shots, they failed to register any on target, highlighting a stark contrast in efficiency. Alaves, on the other hand, managed 3 shots on goal from a total of 9 attempts, showcasing their ability to capitalize on limited opportunities.

The match saw a total of 14 fouls committed by Alaves compared to Barcelona's 8, indicating a more aggressive approach from the home side. This physicality was reflected in the card count, with Alaves receiving 1 yellow card and Barcelona 2, including one for M. Rashford shortly after the break.

With 6 corners to Barcelona's 4, Alaves not only defended well but also created more set-piece opportunities, which could have further extended their lead. This victory not only boosts Alaves' morale but also serves as a wake-up call for Barcelona as they look to regain their form in the league.
