After Bryan Zaragoza gave the hosts a 2-0 lead with two goals in the first half-hour, including one less than 20 seconds into the game at Los Carmenes Stadium, Yamal's goal assisted Barcelona in getting closer. After a couple of deft manoeuvres to clear a defender inside the area, he scored his second goal in the 29th minute.
Barcelona nearly came away with the victory when Joo Félix scored in injury time, but the goal was reversed due to an offside by Ferran Torres. Sergi Roberto tied the score in the 85th minute for Barcelona.
