"Barcelona secured a composed 2-0 La Liga victory at Villarreal on Sunday thanks to goals from Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in a match that tilted firmly in the visitors' favour when the hosts were reduced to 10 men just before the break. It took just 12 minutes for Barcelona to take the lead from the penalty spot after Santi Comesana blocked Raphinha with his back as the winger tried to break through and the Brazilian calmly converted the spot-kick."
"Veiga was shown a straight red card six minutes before half-time, and Lamine Yamal was able to return to action after medical treatment. Lamine Yamal netted Barcelona's second in the 63rd minute, pouncing on a rebound after a flurry of chances that Villarreal's defence failed to clear. Villarreal continued to put up a fight despite their numerical disadvantage, with Georges Mikautadze breaking clear only to be denied twice by Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who produced sharp saves from both the initial effort and the rebound."
