Juvenil A’s Epic Comeback in Stoppage Time at Gavà
Barcelona’s Juvenil A secured a thrilling 3-2 victory against EF Gavà, with goals from Hugo Alba and Xavi Espart in the 92nd and 94th minutes, respectively. This dramatic win marks their third consecutive triumph under coach Óscar López’s guidance, keeping them within striking distance of the league leaders, Mallorca, despite having a game in hand.
While the title defense seemed out of reach for weeks, the Juvenil A team is determined to finish the season on a high note. At Can Torelló, they faced a tough challenge as Gavà held firm defensively and nearly shocked them with two swift goals on the counterattack.
In a familiar narrative, Barcelona dominated possession while Gavà defended deep. Brian Fariñas broke the deadlock with a penalty in the first half, but Gavà responded strongly after the break, capitalizing on two quick counterattacks to take the lead.
However, Barcelona remained composed and stuck to their style of play until the end. Their resilience paid off in stoppage time, with Hugo Alba and Xavi Espart both finding the net with similar goals to secure the dramatic comeback victory.
With only four league matches remaining, Óscar López’s side faces tough tests against league leaders Mallorca and second-placed Espanyol in the upcoming fixtures. The season finale will see Barcelona travel to face Constancia as they aim to finish the campaign with momentum.
