Barcelona moved another step closer to the Primera Division title
after seeing off Recreativo Huelva 2-0 thanks to an inspired display
from Andres Iniesta.
Iniesta scored the opening goal inside the first minute and was also
heavily involved in Barca`s second midway through the second half,
his low cross being turned into his own net by Recre defender Nasief
Morris.
Lionel Messi also missed a late penalty for Barca but it made little
difference to the outcome as Pep Guardiola`s all-conquering side
moved nine points clear of Real Madrid, who play Real Valladolid
on Sunday.
The result keeps Recre in deep trouble in the bottom three, but
the Andalusian side can be proud of their battling display at the
Nou Camp - where Barca had scored 15 goals in their previous three
matches against Bayern Munich, Lyon and Malaga.
