On Thursday, Barcelona overcame a mistake made by goalie Joan García to win 3-1 at promoted Oviedo in La Liga. Alberto Reina scored for the home team with a shot from close to the middle circle after García gave away the ball when he left the area, putting Barcelona behind. With goals from Eric García, Robert Lewandowski, and Ronald Araujo in the second half, the Catalan team came back to win its fifth straight league game. Real Madrid, who triumphed 4-1 at promoted Levante on Tuesday to keep their pristine record after six rounds, now leads Barcelona by two points as a result of the outcome.

In the 33rd minute, Joan García misjudged a long pass outside the box, juggling past two Oviedo players before misclearing straight to Alberto Reina.
