Barcelona secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Osasuna in La Liga, with Vitor Roque scoring the decisive goal.
Despite dominating possession, Xavi Hernandez’s team struggled to break the deadlock until Roque’s crucial contribution at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Roque, who was substituted in by Xavi in the 60th minute, made an immediate impact, heading home Joao Cancelo’s cross from the left.
The goal marked an important moment for Roque, as it was his first for Barcelona in just his sixth appearance for the club.
The Brazilian midfielder has faced challenges since joining Barcelona from Athletico Paranaense.
Osasuna’s task was made even more difficult when Unai Garcia received his second yellow card in the 67th minute, reducing them to 10 men for the remainder of the match.
