90 +2' Denis Suarez with a shot this time but the goalkeeper makes a save this time with ease.
90 +1' POST! Neymar hits the post with a brilliant shot but the post denies him his hattrick!
88' My prediction is gone thanks to an unpredictable pass by Denis Suarez! It's caught the defenders stunned and Neymar slots it into the back of the net through the legs of the goalkeeper! 5-0 Barcelona
87' Amorebieta with a perfect clothesline on Rafinha. Sign him up WWE!
(He's been booked for that challenge)
85' Sergio Roberto yet again with the assist. Lovely ball in finds Arda Turan who is unmarked inside the 6 yard box and he makes no mistake in heading the ball in. 4-0 Barcelona - My prediction comes true!
84' Sporting have a freekick in a really dangerous position and it's a brilliant one but it just could not be pushed in.
81' Sergio Roberto with a brilliant cross into the box and Paco Alcacer's shot comes off the post. Before anybody could react, Neymar came, collected the ball, shifted it to the left of the goalkeeper and slotted it into the empty net. 3-0 Barcelona!
78' After 2 minutes of continuous passing from Barcelona, we finally see an attempt at goal but Rafinha's ball is easily held by the goal keeper.
77' Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass...
74' Lora goes in to clear the ball from Paco Alcacer's feet but the new Barcelona man was quick to flick it away and ends up getting fouled. Lora, who was already booked, got his 2nd yellow and was given the marching orders.
73' Best play of the match by Gijon players so far but the final cross is so bad that it went out for a goal kick!
71' Suarez has an attempt at goal and it's well over the bar. bHe's been called offside as well but he's not at all happy with the decision.
69' Nice bit of skill by Gijon players at the right flank but one of them is caught offside.
67' Barcelona come forward now with Digne on the left flank his cross is cleared faster than ever!
64' Sporting have a player down after a crunching tackle by Digne but again the referee says it's not a foul! Digne went with his studs straight at the back of Victor Rodriguez' calf!
63' Replays show that Suarez kicked out at Amorebieta and the former Fulham man didn't like it one bit.
62' Barcelona have the ball in the net but Pique was clearly offside!
59' Arda Turan gets a punch on the face and somehow the referee has missed it. Guess it's his overacting all the time that's cost his this time.
57' The corner is cleared away at the near post and a few passes later, Gijon have the ball again and that results in a shot on goal that would have been stopped by Ter Stegen even in his sleep.
55' Gijon have a player fouled but the referee plays the advantage. Ter Stegen stands tall to deny Gijon a goal and it's a corner to the hosts.
53' Victor Rodriguez has been Gijon's best player in the midfield and their worst player in the final third. He's collecting the ball very well but his final passes have been horrible.
52' Chance after chance for both teams but it's still 2-0 to Barcelona.
50' Lora, who's already booked, has made a crunching challenge on Rafinha but the referee doesn't even award a freekick.
47' Sporting have a great chance to pull one back but Pique's sliding clearance denies them a great chance.
Welcome back to the live coverage of the 2nd half!
43' Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass...Pass... Pass...Pass... and it's finally broken by Sporting who are trying to counter but fail.
