FULL-TIME

Three crucial points for Barcelona. Huesca improved in the second half but just didn't have enough to really trouble the visitors.

Only a minute left of stoppage time.

David Ferreiro's cross from the right is inches away from Shinji Okazaki! Huesca coming closer...

David Ferreiro is over this free-kick for Huensa as they push for an equaliser. He lifts it into the box but it's headed on tamely and is comfortable again for Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Shinji Okazaki is picked out with a long ball but his flick on is straight at the Barca keeper.

Huesca move the ball around nicely on the left but Javier Ontiveros's cross strikes off his teammate Javi Galan and the attack breaks down.

Lionel Messi is then fouled on the halfway line as Barca try to break.

Lionel Messi opts not to go for goal and instead curls the free-kick straight out for a goal kick.

That was awful!

SUBSTITUTION

Martin Braithwaite is off. On comes Antoine Griezmann.

Ousmane Dembele shows his pace as he runs at the full-back then twists inside and wins a free-kick.

Barca try to take it quickly but it's pulled back by the referee so Lionel Messi is teeing it up.

Pedri draws defenders to him as he tries to get a shot away on the edge of the box. He tees up Miralem Pjanic instead but he sends it over the bar.

Ousmane Dembele is then played in behind but the keeper is off his line quickly to close him down.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Sergino Dest and Sergio Busquets are offfor Barca. On comes Oscar Mingueza and Miralem Pjanic.

Javier Ontiveros breaks through the middle for Huesca and he has space to shoot from long range.

It's comfortable for Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

But as Huesca push for an equaliser, more space is opening up for Barcelona. Can they add a second?

SUBSTITUTIONS

Jaime Seoane and Jorge Pulido are off for Huesca. David Ferreiro and former Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki are on.

SportsDaily: More goals for Barca coming I hope!

GREAT SAVE!

Lionel Messi is played through in the box by Pedri - another smart one-two from the pair - but the number 10 is denied at the near post by goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez.

The Huesca goalkeeper has been excellent.

Ousmane Dembele cuts inside off the left and tries to fire it into the far corner but gets it all wrong.

SUBSTITUTION

Idrissa Doumbia is on for Mikel Rico for Huesca.

CLOSE!

Rafa Mir is starting to see more of the ball for Huesca and he does well to win a corner off Ronald Araujo.

From the cross, it's flicked on dangerously at the near post by Mir and Marc-Andre ter Stegen only just stops it from crossing the line!

CLOSE!

Lionel Messi has a go from just inside the box after a nice one-two with Martin Braithwaite but he fires it wide.
