Ebrima Tunkara, with a header at the end of time, gave victory to the FC Barcelona cadets in the final of the U16 category that pitted the Blaugrana team against Girona FC in Palamós.
He was in the last action of the match, in a service from the corner that ended with the goal of the African footballer after 50 minutes dominated by Barça, who did not manage to materialize with clear opportunities their control of the ball against a a well-positioned opponent, who was able to resist and who starred in some attacks, without much success in the last meters. It was Barça who took the initiative and looked for the goal with insistence. Proof of this are some arrivals in the first half, such as a long shot that grazed the left post or a lateral foul that caught the white-and-red goalkeeper, very surely.
History repeated itself after the break, but neither team managed to open the scoring until the last action. Corner served from the right of the attack, with the ball hanging on the far post and Tunkara taking advantage, with a header, of his teammate’s assistance to decide the final.
Champion of the U16 category is FC Barcelona, who have won all the matches and have not conceded a single goal. After comfortably passing the group stage, it has eliminated PSG Academy Miami, BCN Sports Academy, FC Porto and RCD Espanyol.
