Lamine scored in the 6th minute to put Flick's team ahead and saw his double ruled out for offside two minutes later | Fermín scored the second
Barcelona is beating Valencia this Sunday on matchday 4 of the League. Lamine Yamal put the Barça team ahead in the 6th minute and two minutes later he scored again, although his goal was annulled by the VAR for offside. Barça did not lower their intensity and Valencia, very weak in their area and without tension, now conceded the second. On a dead ball in the area Gordon picked up the ball and gave it to Fermín who scored with his left foot against the post. Already in the second half, the Barça team looked hard for the third to get the game back on track even more and in a counterattack Raphinha put the ball in the way. Flick's team are looking for full victories this season after winning their first three games and becoming the sole leaders after Real Madrid's defeat against Betis on Friday. In front of them they have the team led by Carlos Corberán, who once again starts with problems and has only one point at the beginning of the League with two defeats and a draw.

To the Fermin stick!
What an individual play by the Barcelona midfielder! He got between three players in the area with very quick touches of the ball and his shot was touched by Dimitrievski and then hit the post.

Great save from Joan García!
Rodri missed the ball and Danjuma picked up the ball to stand in front of Joan García. The Dutchman shot and the goalkeeper guessed the trajectory of the ball to avoid 1-2. Danjuma called for a penalty for a touch from behind.

The meeting is stopped due to the hydration break
Take advantage of Mestalla for a new loud whistle and a handshake directed at the box.

Eric García leaves due to a blow to the face
The Barcelona right back has to leave the game due to a collision with Rodri that deviated his nasal septum. Koundé is going to take his place.

Great save from Dimitrievski!
Lamine shot with a thread from the front towards the far post and Dimitrievski flew to get a great handball and send it for a corner. Valencia is broken.

GOOOOOAL FROM FERMÍN!
Barça's second arrives! The Valencian defense was very weak without forcefulness in the area. Gordon picked up a loose ball at the penalty spot and gave it to Fermín who, unmarked, shot with his left foot against the post.
0-2.

Crucial Cubarsí!
Against Valencia led by Otorbi and at the time of giving the last pass to leave his teammate alone in front of Joan García Cubarsí appeared to cut the center. Still a bad pass from the midfielder.

The followers of the Animation Stand now enter
The followers of one of the Mestalla funds enter, shouting “Peter, go now.”

The followers of the Animation Stand leave the background empty
A few hundred spectators stayed outside Mestalla, in front of the main façade, as a sign of the protest, until the 19th minute. The majority are season ticket holders from the Gol Gran Stand, where the youngest and most enthusiastic people gather. This time, despite the visit of the powerful Barcelona, they preferred to express their displeasure with the property and the sports management and leave that portion of the stands practically empty. This group of indignant people carried banners against Peter Lim, the owner of the club, his son Kiat, the president of the entity, and Ron Gourlay, the football CEO who appeared on Thursday to assess the transfer market, an intervention that some of the fans did not like. These fans who chose to protest experienced Lamine Yamal's first goal outside the field, amidst chants.

The second goal is disallowed for offside!
Lamine was with one foot in front of the defense and the referee flagged offside after the VAR review. Still 0-1.

AND ANOTHER FROM LAMINE!
Two goals in two minutes for the Barça winger! Now it was Pedri who put a pass for Fermín in the area and he opened to the right for Lamine who, again alone, shot at the first post to beat Dimitrievski.
0-2.

LAMINE GOOOOL!
Barcelona takes the lead very early! Fermín's ball went over the Valencian defense that did not see Lamine loose and the Barcelona winger lifted the ball over Dimitrievski with the outside to put the Blaugrana ahead.
0-1.

Valencia, behind from the start
Corberán's defense of five gets into their area and the midfield comes together to cover any ball inside. Barcelona dominates clearly in these first moments.
