Barcelona Dominates Possession but Leganés Secures Upset Victory
Barcelona, controlling 80% of possession and registering 19 shots, failed to overcome Leganés at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys this Sunday, December 15th, 2024. Despite their statistical dominance, which included 8 corners, Barcelona couldn’t capitalize on their chances, while Leganés proved highly efficient. An early goal by S. González in the 4th minute, assisted by O. Rodríguez, was enough to secure victory for the away team. Leganés, with only 20% possession and 6 shots, demonstrated remarkable attacking efficiency and a solid defense. The match was marked by intense play, reflected in Leganés’ 13 fouls and Barcelona’s 5. Two yellow cards for Leganés (S. Cisse and J. Hernandez) did not prevent their triumph against a Barcelona side that, despite their control, were surprised by the defensive solidity and offensive effectiveness of their opponents. The referee was Alejandro Quintero González (Spain).
