FC Barcelona defeated Reus Deportiu with a convincing 7-2 victory this Saturday at the Palau Blaugrana, ending the visitors' three-match winning run in the OK Liga.

Despite Maxi Oruste giving Reus an early lead, Barça responded quickly with goals from Eloi Cervera and a brace by Xavi Barroso. By halftime, the score was 4-1 following a strike by Ferran Font. The second half saw controversy when a clear goal for Reus was not awarded by the officials.
Ignacio Alabart and Marc Grau completed the scoring for the hosts, while Joan Salvat managed a consolation goal for the visitors. Reus Deportiu now looks ahead to next Sunday's local derby against Calafell at the Palau d'Esports.
