3 Reasons why Barcelona won 2-1 over Leganes

3. Leganes fail to assert themselves after scoring

Leganes could not build on the lead

Playing against the top side in the league, Leganes were off to a dream start in the game. En-Nesyri scored a great goal to give them the lead, and an upset was on the cards. But they could not build on that lead and lost the game as a result.

Leganes had 23% of the possession in the entire game, and they had few forays into the Barcelona box. They had just two shots in the box, and both were tough chances, to say the least.

Barcelona were always going to dominate the play, but Leganes could have posed a better threat on the counter-attack. Leganes made just 91 passes in the final third in the entire game. In contrast, Barcelona made 319 in the match. As it turned out, they were too passive, and Barcelona got the three points with a late goal.
