Cádiz surprised Barcelona at home and won sensationally 2: 1 in a match on Matchday 12 of the Spanish League. Success is coming 50 days after the 1-0 victory of the Andalusians in the center of Madrid against Real.
Tonight, the debutants opened the scoring in the eighth minute through Álvaro Jiménez, but the “credit” went entirely to the Catalan defender Oscar Mingesa.
Pedro Alcalá’s own goal tied ten minutes after the break, but Cádiz came out with a chest again after another blunder in the defense of Barça and a goal from Álvaro Negredo.
Cádiz added 18 points and climbed to fifth place, while Ronald Koeman’s boys are seventh with 14 points.
The hosts opened the scoring in the eighth minute in the first interesting situation. Oscar Mingesa could not connect with him, as his teammates expected, and the ball went out. Marc-Andre ter Stegen reacted well and intervened, but Álvaro Jiménez got the ball, which had almost crossed the goal with all its volume.
The Catalans got angry and made two very good attacks. In the first, Filipe Coutinho found himself in a good position on the left, but his shot from the movement turned out to be imprecise. Then Lionel Messi put Martin Brightwaite in excellent position, but a diagonal shot from the Dane was stopped by goalkeeper Ledesma with one foot.
Halfway through the first half, Lionel Messi threatened the rival with a direct free kick, but the Cádiz goalkeeper returned to position and managed to save. With that, the aspiration of the “blaugranas” seemed to evaporate and for a long time it did not reach a new exciting moment.
Messi made an interesting cross from a corner, where he was able to score directly with an internal rebound, but Ledesma was careful and took a new corner, after which the situation calmed down.
Barcelona kept attacking immediately after the break, but Messi’s accurate shot in the lower left corner was not strong enough. The hosts responded with a lightning counterattack a bit later, but the defense of the Catalans managed with joint efforts.
The tie was reestablished after Pedro Alcalá’s own goal in the 57th minute. He tried to block a Jordi Alba cross, but sent the ball into his own net.
Halfway through the second half, Cádiz went ahead after another blunder by Barça’s defense. Clement Lengle could not reach the ball after a lateral shot, and Ter Stegen did not clear and Álvaro Negredo, who had just entered as a substitute, scored with the empty goal.
Serginho Dest put himself in an excellent position, but would pass the left post, and ten minutes before the end of regulation time Cádiz was able to eliminate the intrigue, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved Ivan Alejo’s drive.
Messi delivered a desperation blow in the 84th minute after a confusion in the local penalty, but Leo would be just within reach of the goalkeeper. A great opportunity followed for Miralem Pjanic, but Ledesma saved!
Cádiz counterattacked seconds later and Adekanie was at the top of the attack, but fired over the right post. In added time at the opposite door, Messi took a direct free kick, but it hit the wall.
Cadiz – Barcelona 2: 1
1: 0 Álvaro Jiménez – 8 ‘
eleven Pedro Alkala – 57 ‘, own goal
twenty-one Álvaro Negredo – 63 ‘
