Elche is in 19th and has picked up just a point from its first five games of the season. However, the ball does not find a Barca shirt. There was no attempt to win the ball and by the looks of it, Verdu denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Dembele threads a through ball to Kessie on the right flank. Lewandowksi acknowledges the cross by Dembele with a thumbs-up. A flailing hand by Kessie seems to have caught John Donald on the face and the latter has gone down. Dembele with a well-measured cross from the left at Badia’s far-post.

Since it's clear that Barcelona are the better side and should win the match, but it's unclear whether they will be able to bury Elche under an avalanche of goals, they're superior enough to be at least a goal better in each half. And the Dutch striker just spins off the defender (John) and blasts the ball with his left into the roof of the net. 20 mins from kickoff: Big day for Franck Kessie in the heart of the Barcelona midfield. Ansu Fati (for Memphis Depay), Raphinha (for Ousmane Dembele), and Hector Bellerin (for Eric Garcia) are in the game. The Elche resistance seems to have let up — Barcelona are getting into the box with ease. Gavi fed him the ball and it got caught in his feet in the box, but he still got a shot off and it finished high of the target. Halftime: It was all Barcelona from the start, especially after the red card to Elche for denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Josan (for Tete Morente on the right wing) and Ezequiel Ponce (for Lucas Boye at center forward). Elche got just one shot off in the match and were never a real threat and Lewandowski's second goal of the match sealed the result. In addition to Lewandowski's standout performance, Frenkie de Jong excelled in the Sergio Busquets role with his inventive passing and vision. This season there's a sense that the goal is only a matter of time because of Lewandowski's presence in the box. Barcelona forward Memphis Depay doubled the advantage just before the break with a solo effort for his first goal of the season.
