I was going to write an article on the match, but since you gave the main headlines there's no need for it

[FCBNOF]

Hey Snyde, I have'nt watched the match, but here is a translated report on the match, hope it's helpful !

Barçaa Atlètic thrash Orihuela (4-0), where a large contribution came from Jeffren who continues to raise eyebrows.

The game started off very quite poor from both sides, which was maybe from the very cold weather at the Mini Estadi. Luis Enrique's side tried to dominate and control possession from the start, but they were not successful.

Gradually, The Bluagrana began to pressure, wth Rueda and Longás organizing the game in midfield (Captain Xavi Torres had still not fully recovered), while our front line was led by Jeffren, Gai, and Rochin, while Maric was on the bench.

The match marked a turning point in the 26th minute. That was when Jeffren - who reappeared after being injured for three months - made an excellent individual effort dribbling through a few defenders and it cleared it past the goalkeeper. It was the spark that was missing. Five minutes later the same player tried again but his shot fired over the cross bar.
Gai was played a good part in individual brilliance who dribbled well and passed to Jeffren who fired the ball high and, after giving slightly in a defense, shot high and the ball drifted above the crossbar. However, only two minutes later, it was again Jeffren who made it 2-0 with a cross shot.

3-0 came before the break , there was a rare move within the area of Orihuela, as their players failed to clear the ball, and Green who was inside the box easily headed the ball to give Barça another goal. The players went to their locker rooms with a comfortable line.


In the second half, despite the overwhelming 3-0, Orihuela found more space and began to arrive with danger Barca Atlètic´s goal. Their first warning came at minute 16, with a shot from Marcos that forced the goalkeeper Minho, to punch the ball out for a corner

Barça Atlètic meanwhile, were looking more dangerous on the counterattack. In one of those moves, Jeffren-had a good chance before being replaced - his speed was tremendous and he would have got a hat-trick but his shot went high. Also in the 27th minute, Gai went towards the Orihuela´s goal but the goalkeeper cleared his shot for a corner.

Everything was decided, with 15 minutes left to play, but if there was still any doubts, it was cancelled when the 4th goal was scored. Most of the credit´s for the goal was went to Gai, who did everything, dribbling himself into the area and taking on defenders and finally passed the ball ready made for Abraham, who had entered the field just minutes earlier replacing Victor Vazquez.

The match ended with a win Barca Atlètic playing wonderful football, and getting closer to the play-off places for promotion.

The eight consecutive matches without losing did not change customary speech by Luis Enrique and at the end of the match insisted that "we have to go game by game because not long ago we were 19th in the ranking and looking up high would be too brave. The team has continued to make things right without our guard down." On the main protagonist of the party, Jeffren Suarez, the coach of the subsidiary Blaugrana said that "he is always an exceptionally good player. He is a footballer who has played in the first team and I am happy he return well. Now he has to get more physical tone. "
