Barcelona saw off Orense 3-0 in the Liga Pro Regular Season on matchday 26 on Saturday night. The hosts took all three points at home, extending their unbeaten run while Orense's form continued to falter away from home.
T. Rodriguez opened the scoring in the 26th minute, finishing a well-worked move. By then Barcelona had already established their rhythm, and the goal settled any nerves Orense might have had. S. Vasquez picked up a yellow card shortly before the breakthrough.
Rodriguez added his second in the 44th minute, just before the break. Barcelona were running the show by that stage, and Orense's defence looked stretched. O. Quinonez went into the book for a challenge before the interval.
J. Wila made it three in the 55th minute, tapping in after good work on the flanks. He was substituted himself just four minutes later, a curious decision given he had scored. Barcelona threw everything at it after that, seeking to close out the game.
Barcelona registered 9 shots on target from 16 attempts, while Orense managed only 3 from 16. The visitors had more attacks overall with 104 to 92, but Barcelona's conversion rate proved decisive. Shots accuracy sat at 53 percent for the hosts against 16 percent for Orense.
Barcelona remain fifth in the table with 42 points from 28 games. Orense sit 13th on 30 points after 27 matches, a point behind but with a game in hand. The gap between the sides at the top and bottom half of the table has not shrived this weekend.
