It was all Barcelona in the first half. Leganes barely caused any problems for the Barcelona defense as the Catalan giants dominated possession in and around the Leganes penalty area.

Asier Garitano made a substitution during the break as he brought in Beauvue to replace Amrabat.

Beauvue missed an opportunity to make it 2-1 in the 49th minute, as he sends the header a yard or so over the crossbar.

They wasted another opportunity in the 66th minute, before making it 2-1 in the 68th.

Beauvue was electric throughout the second half but Leganes' lack of quality in the final third did not help on the night.

They did not let Barcelona run away with the game but was not good enough to cause an upset.
