OBSERVATION: Trincao says goodbye to Barcelona against Alavés

Barcelona’s rising star Trincao has scored for the second straight La Liga game to put the Catalans 1-0 in front against Alavés.

The Portuguese international scored his Blaugrana goal with the winning goal against Real Betis last weekend, and achieved the vital advance against Abelardo Fernández’s visitors in the half hour.

Ronald Koeman’s team have struggled to make their way into the Basque squad in the early stages, with a good shot from Trincao being their first real chance.

La Masia’s connection was at the heart of the preparation for the hosts when a threaded pass from Riqui Puig released Oscar Mingueza down the right.

His center to the area was kept alive by La Liga debutant Ilaix Moriba and Trincao arrived at just the right moment to shoot Fernando Pacheco.

Barcelona nearly doubled their lead before half-time, but Lionel Messi’s goal was ruled out by a VAR offside against Antoine Griezmann.
