Brazilian forward Vitor Roque scored his first goal for Barcelona. And by capitalizing on this goal, the Catalan club beat Osasuna by 1-0 and returned to the winning streak.
Xavi's men came into the match after losing to Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Copa del Rey and Villarreal in La Liga. After the defeat in the last match, Xavi Hernandez announced that he will step down as the coach of Barca at the end of the season. Barca's confidence will surely increase even if they win this match by a minimum margin.
After a scoreless first half, Barca scored in the 63rd minute. Hoo Cancelo curled a cross through the outside of the boot. The 18-year-old Roque changed the direction of the ball by touching his head and hitting the target. After the goal, the game regained some life, but the two teams did not see any more goals.
In this win, Barca is fourth in the table with 47 points in 22 matches. In the equal match, 8 points lead to the top of Girona. Real Madrid is second with 54 points after playing one match less.
