In the Copa Libertadores, Barcelona hosted Palmeiras in the first leg of a home-and-away series.
The first half was nothing great to look at. The Brazilians disrupted play as much as possible.
In the second half, Barcelona exerted smothering control. Such famed Brazilians as Ze Roberto and Michel Bastos couldn’t keep Jonathan Álvez from bringing attack after attack up the right wing. But as the minutes passed, it looked as if Barcelona wouldn’t carry a lead into the second leg.
Therefore I was delighted when one of Álvez’s shots squeaked in in injury time.

My parents arrived from Ecuador today. They’ll be in this country until October.
