Futsal FC Barcelona confirmed its dominance in the group stage of the Champions League with a 6‑1 win over Semey of Kazakhstan, in the second match of the Main Round. The result not only extended the Barça team's advantage over the other teams in the group, but also ensured their qualification to the round of 16, leaving only the question of first place pending from the last day.
From the start of the match, Barça showed obvious superiority. Eric Martel opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a precise shot after a dribble that left the Semey goalkeeper with no options. At 18 minutes, Higor added another goal, taking advantage of a vertical pass from his teammate Pito and beating the veteran Higuita in the area. Javi Rodríguez's team, despite the intensity of the match, remained calm and continued to press.
Semey tried to react when Dedezinho scored a goal in the 25th minute, reducing the difference to 1‑3. However, Barça responded quickly: Adolfo scored in the 27th minute and Mouhoudine added another in the 28th minute, bringing the score to 1‑4. Despite the pressure, the Kazakh team failed to create clear opportunities and one player, Pedrinho, was sent off after receiving a double yellow. The expulsion further reduced the possibility of a tie.
With the score at 1‑5, Antonio closed the win in the 40th minute, finishing from outside the area. The match concluded with Barça celebrating a resounding victory that reinforces its position as leader of the group. The result also adds to the previous 6‑1 victory against Futsal Minerva, consolidating the pass to the next phase.
The next step for Barça is to wait for the result of the match between Lucenec and Minerva. If the home team wins, Barça will only need a draw in their last match to secure first place and home court advantage in the round of 16. Otherwise, the result of their last match will determine the leadership. With qualification guaranteed, Javi Rodríguez's team can focus on fine-tuning its strategy for the knockout phase, where the experience and quality of its squad will be crucial to advancing in the continental competition.
