3-1 and we won the game thanks to the patience of the players. Blackburn was defended very well in the first hour and it was not until Xabi's excellent placing that opened the gap that we created more chances and won the game. It was a tough game but at the end the win was justified.

Reina: 7 Superb one hand save in 1H. Was let down by the defenders in conceding that soft goal.

Substitutions:

Lucas: 7 Not enough time to impress.
Riera: 7 Unselfish and assisted Stevie G the goal.
