Tona v Barça B: Victory in the first pre-season test (0-3)

Barça B traveled to Tona this Sunday, and will stay in Torremirona for 10 days to continue with a pre-season that will see them play two more friendlies: Wednesday 23 against Peralada (7.30pm CEST) and Sunday against L'Escala (7.30pm CEST).

Igor Gomes, Santi Ramos, Alejandro Balde and Gustavo Maia all made their debut in Garcia Pimienta's team in the first half, with Coke Carrillo doing so in the second.

The match itself saw Barça B dominate possession of the ball for most of the match, and despite attempts by Jandro, Gustavo Maia and Matheus Pereira, it was still goalless at the break. 

The goals arrive

The team continued to be in control in the second 45, and it wasn't long before Peke finished off a Miranda cross. The second goal also came after a cross from the Andalusian, this time finished off by Gerard. Álex Sala then made his debut after replacing Igor Gomes. Four minutes before the end, Ludovit Reis made it 0-3 after taking advantage of a good assist from Oriol Busquets.

Garcia Pimienta, satisfied with the first test

"We were able to play almost two teams in the first and second halves, and I'm happy with the attitude of the players," the Barça B coach said after the game.

"They played a good game and that will help us. After so many training sessions we wanted to compete [...] Now we are heading to Torremirona to continue with the preparation that the team needs. We have a very young team, with a lot of new players. These 10 days will help us to work on many things, on a technical and personal level, and prepare in the best way for the first league match against Nàstic.”
