In the 24th minute of the match, Las Palmas goalkeeper Avero Vallis saw a red card after fouling Barcelona forward Rafinha. As a result, Las Palmas picked up the team’s only forward Munir El Haddadi and dropped the new goalkeeper Aaron Escandel.
Las Palmas turned into a team of 10 at the beginning of Saturday night, but put Barca in a tough fight. They kept the hosts at bay until the 59th minute of the match. Finally, Brazilian Rafinha conceded a foul and scored for Barca.
After falling behind, Las Palmas did not allow Barca to score another goal by strengthening the defense. That’s why the Catalan club returned with a hard-earned 1-0 victory. Barca won 5 consecutive matches for the first time since October 2022.
In the beginning, however, Barca deposited the ball in the net of Las Palmas. However, the referee ruled out the goal scored by Bertrand Lewandowski for offside. Then Lewandowski missed another chance in the 35th minute. The Poland star bounced back with a headed goal.
Barca strengthened the second place in the La Liga table with 67 points in 30 matches. 62 points for third-placed Girona after playing one less match. And as usual, Real Madrid’s points at the top are 72 (in 30 matches).
