    90+2
    Griezmann sees a yellow card for letting the clock run down.
     
    90+1
    Goal for Real Sociedad!

    Incredible!!!!!!! After a cross from the right outside lane AGIRRETXE appears alone at the six-yard box because Mascherano didn't get the ball first and the Real Sociedad forward who just came into the match brought the ball into the right bottom corner!
     
    89
    Adriano gets a few minutes for goal scorer Pedro.
     
    83
    The only real Real Sociedad striker, Carlos Vela, leaves the pitch and Agirretxe is in for him - the hosts used all their three options for a player change.
     
    79
    Rubén Pardo entered the pitch for Xabi Prieto.
     
    79
    Illarramendi sees a yellow card for a foul against Busquets in the midfield.
     
    74
    Two-time goal scorer Chory Castro left the pitch for Ifrán.
     
    73
    Hard tackle by Sergio Busquets with both legs first in the midfield after he lost the ball. The consequence is a yellow card for the Barcelona midfielder.
     
    63
    Goal for Real Sociedad!

    And here it is, the equalizer for the hosts!!! A cross from the right outside lane is blocked but from the left side of the Barcelona area CHORY CASTRO tries it with a shot that is deflected by Mascherano into his own goal! Valdés was already on his way to the ground and couldn't keep the ball outside!
     
    59
    Javier Mascherano is now in for Cesc Fábregas. Barcelona head coach Tito Vilanona had to react after the red card against Piqué.
     
    58
    Andrés Iniesta (Barcelona) sees the next yellow card for a tactical foul just 25 metres in front of the Barcelona net.
     
    57
    After the free kick Sergio Busquets threw himself into a shot in the last moment and avoided the equalizer!
     
    55
    Piqué (Barcelona) came too late in his tackle in the midfield and for the tactical foul he just saw the second yellow card and he is sent off by the referee!
     
    43
    Suddenly Chory Castro again receives a pass at the left side of the Barcelona area and this time his shot is stopped by Valdés before he can make the final save.
     
    40
    Goal for Real Sociedad!

    CHORY CASTRO on the other side cuts the lead to the half for Real Sociedad! Griezmann wins the header against Piqué, then Vela gives the ball to the left side of the guest area and Castro fires the ball into the right corner!
     
    39
    Messi receives a long ball, goes past two defenders and with a lob over Carlos Bravo who left his net far too early he only hits the right post!
     
    35
    Inigo Martínez (Real Sociedad) is booked for a foul from behind against Messi in the midfield.
     
    33
    Offside goal by Real Sociedad. After a nice combination the ball is in the Barcelona net for the first time but in the end Carlos Vela didn't come back fast enough and stood half a metre offside.
     
    33
    Gerard Piqué (Barcelona) sees the first yellow card of the game for blocking a free kick from one metre distance.
     
    25
    Goal for Barcelona!

    Amazing lob by Xavi directed towards the right side of the Real Sociedad area, then Dani Alves gives the flat pass into the middle and inside the six-yard box PEDRO gives the ball a little touch to double the guest lead!
     
    17
    And now Griezmann conquered the ball. From the 18-yard box his shot goes just past the right post! That would have been a difficult job for Valdés to make a save here.
     
    14
    Pedro with the back towards the Real Sociedad net, turns around and his shot from 20 metres hits the right post!
     
    11
    Nice idea by the hosts. A flat pass past the wall into the guest area but Xabi Prieto's shot just hits the side netting.
     
    7
    Goal for Barcelona!

    Pass by Iniesta from the left side of the Real Sociedad area, then Fábregas lets through the ball and LIONEL MESSI again appears alone in front of Bravo and this time his shot finds the left corner - seen from the shooter - for the early Barcelona lead!
     
    5
    First big chance of the match. After a long ball Lionel Messi is through and alone in front of Bravo but his shot goes just past the far post!
