Barça’s roller hockey side fell 6‑3 to Noia in the first leg of their OK Liga semifinal, a result that leaves the Catalan club with a single match to decide progression.
The game opened with a swift strike from Noia’s David Gelmà, who opened the scoring in the opening minute, forcing Barça to chase the game from the outset.
Barça answered quickly through Ferran Font, whose equaliser restored parity at 1‑1 and hinted at a possible comeback.
However, Noia’s Xavi Costa doubled the lead with two goals before the break, pushing the score to 3‑1 and giving the visitors a commanding advantage.
Despite a series of chances, Barça struggled to find rhythm, and Noia’s aggressive defensive pressure limited the home side’s opportunities.
A late surge brought goals from Sergi Aragonès and another from Font, but the deficit proved too large to overturn.
A tribute and a test
The decisive third game is scheduled for 26 May at the Palau Blaugrana, where the team will also honour departing players Sergi Fernández and Pablo Álvarez.
