Minute
Description
78'
The visitors have failed to perform in this second half, they haven't showed as much intensity and we haven't seen much of Messi or Coutinho on the ball, who really influenced the game in the first half.
76'
Barcelona are dominating possession once again, but they are struggling to get into the final third and create any goalscoring chances. A few too many passes are going astray as they struggle to break down the hosts defence, who are full of confidence now and are pressing Barca high up the pitch.
74'
Gerard Gumbau enters the game and replaces Óscar Rodríguez.
Leganes make their first change of the game, with Rodríguez coming off and he is replaced by Gumbau.

70'
Jordi Alba enters the game and replaces T. Vermaelen.
The first of the double substitution sees Vermaelen replaced by Jordi Alba, a straight swap at left-back.
68'
There is still plenty of time left for Barcelona to get back into this game and it looks like they are about to make a double substitution in order to help that cause.
66'
CHANCE! It's all Leganes at the moment and they look really dangerous in attack. Juanfran is causing Vermaelen a lot of problems down the right wing. The right-back gets a cross into the box, it falls to the feet of Youssef, who fires an effort towards goal, but it's blocked and goes out for a corner. The resulting set piece comes to nothing.
64'
T. Vermaelen gets yellow.
Barca are starting to lose their cool now, with Vermaelen the latest player to be shown a yellow card.
63'
The atmosphere is electric inside the stadium now, the home crowd are loving the turnaround by their side. Could they be about to pick up their first victory of the season?
61'
L. Suárez enters the game and replaces M. El Haddadi.
Barcelona make their first substitution of the game, with Munir the man coming off and he has been replaced by Suarez.
60'
S. Umtiti gets yellow.
Umtiti is the first Barcelona player to be shown a yellow card for his late challenge, right on the halfway line.
55'
What a frantic couple of minutes! Barcelona look rattled now, they were so confident and had been in complete control of the game, but they've allowed Leganes to get back into the match and now they've got it all to do.
53'
Óscar Rodríguez has scored a goal for Leganes!
LEGANES LEAD! It's 2-1! Another defensive error by Barcelona which allows Leganes through and they capitalise on the opportunity, two goals in a minute! It comes from a hopeful ball over the top by Leganes, with Youssef chasing it down, but Pique gets his clearance all wrong, firing the ball straight into the path of Rodriguez in the area, who just had Ter Stegen to beat and he fired it into the back of the net.
52'
N. El Zhar has scored a goal for Leganes! Assist by J. Silva.
Silva stepped up just in time, getting in behind Sergi Roberto and Pique who couldn't catch up with the Leganes man once he sprinted clear and then put the ball into a perfect area for El Zhar to head home.
GOOOAAALLL! Leganes are level, it's 1-1! El Zhar with the equalising goal after a quick counter down the left wing. Silva beats the offside flag and whips a deep cross into the box for El Zhar who beats Vermaelen to the ball and powers his header into the back of the net.
50'
GREAT CHANCE! Munir with a huge opportunity to double Barca's lead early in the second half. Messi dribbles past three Leganes defenders and picks out the striker perfectly, who then fires a low effort at goal but it's straight at Cuellar in the Leganes goal. However, it wouldn't have counted anyway as the linesman had his flag up for offside, as Munir didn't time his run correctly.
49'
Unai Bustinza gets yellow.
The Leganes skipper Bustinza, is shown a yellow card after his late challenge on Dembele.
48'
Barca have started the second half well, similar to how they dominated the opening period of the first half.They are dominating possession and are camped inside the Leganes half of the pitch, with the visitors being forced to sit deep and defend.
46'
The second half is underway!
45' +1
HALF-TIME: LEGANES 0-1 BARCELONA
45'
SAVE! Ter Stegen is called into action, after a curling effort from Rodriguez which appeared to be heading into the top corner of the net. However, the shot didn't have enough pace on it and the Barca keeper is able to make a good stop.
44'
Leganes will be quite happy with their performance, they are only one goal down and are very much still in this game. They just need to improve in the final third.
42'
There isn't much time left on the clock before the break, can Barca extend their lead before the half time whistle? Leganes have improved as the half as gone on, but don't look very threatening in front of goal at the moment.
40'
Rubén Pérez gets yellow.
Perez is shown the first yellow card of the game, after his late challenge on Messi, just inside the Barcelona half of the pitch.
38'
Good chance! Youssef with a header deep inside the penalty area, a good effort at goal. However, the header is straight at Ter Stegen, who makes a comfortable save.
36'
Offside! Messi with the chance, after playing a lovely one-two with Munir, who was in an offside position as the ball came into him. Messi ran through and almost put the ball into the bottom corner of the net, but the keeper made a good save. However, the flag immediately goes up for offside against Munir.
34'
There have been a few sloppy passes by Barca players in the last few minutes, which is allowing Leganes to take advantage.
32'
Leganes have limited Barcelona's attacking threat since Messi hit the crossbar, as since that chance Barca haven't really looked liked scoring. The hosts have tightened their defence and look much more confident. If they can keep the score at 1-0 for as long as possible, they might have a good chance of getting something out of the game.
30'
Decent chance! Youssef breaks through the Barca defence, after an excellent through ball by Perez, he races into the penalty area and fires a low shot at goal, but it is straight at Ter Stegen, who makes a comfortable save. However, play is brought back as the linesman has his flag up for offside, it looks like the striker made his run slightly too early.
27'
The hosts have grown into the game in these last five minutes or so, forcing Barcelona further back into their own half and are enjoying their own spells of possession. However, they have been unable to create any chances so far.
25'
The initial ball into the box is cleared by Barca, but it then falls to Juanfran on the edge of the box, who fires an effort towards goal but it takes a big deflection, which takes much of the pace out of the shot. However, Ter Stegen still has to be alert, making a good save.
24'
Leganes have a free-kick in a good position and they may need take advantage of situations such as these if they are to get back into the game.
22'
Not much is happening in the game at the moment, as the visitors are playing the ball in the middle of the pitch, not in any great hurry to press forward and extend their lead. Leganes are doing a good job of keeping them away from their final third, getting players behind the ball and limiting the space in behind for Barca to exploit.
20'
It's been very comfortable for Barcelona so far, they are controlling every aspect of the game and Leganes simply don't have the answers for them at the moment. The home crowd is very quiet, with the travelling supporters making the most noise inside the stadium.
16'
OFF THE BAR! Messi with a terrific curling effort from the edge of the box, it looks to be heading into the top corner, but he is denied by the crossbar! Brilliant by Messi. The hosts are struggling to cope with the Argentine at the moment.
14'
Leganes will have to change their game plan now, they've gone behind early on and will no longer be able to rely on grabbing a goal from a quick counter. Barcelona are controlling the game and they look very likely to double their lead before the break.
12'
Philippe Coutinho has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by L. Messi.
Messi is the creator, he cuts inside from the right and drills the ball into the path of Coutinho, who was in acres of space on the edge of the area. But what a strike it was to fire Barca into the lead!
WHAT A GOAL! Barca lead 1-0! Messi picks out Coutinho on the edge of the box, the Brazilian takes a touch and then fires a powerful volley into the corner of the net, which was dipping all the way and caught the Leganes keeper by surprise. However, it is a superb volley!
10'
Leganes with their first spell of possession, after Messi fouls Raul Garcia. However, they are unable to get past the halfway line and Barca force the error. Much better by the hosts though.
8'
The hosts haven't been able to see much of the ball just yet, as expected it's Barcelona controlling the ball. It looks like Leganes are sitting deep, trying to soak up the Barca pressure and will then be looking to break on the counter when they get the chance.
6'
Decent effort! We have the first shot of the game. Dembele cuts inside from the left wing, finds some space and fires a low shot at goal, looking for the near post. However, it goes just wide, rippling the side netting.
5'
Free-kick to Barcelona in a good position, after Vesga fouls Busquets around 35 yards out from goal. It's slightly too far out to shoot at goal, so Messi whips the ball into the box, but Leganes clear the danger.
4'
It's all Barcelona in the early stages of the game, they are dominating possession and are slowly making their way forward, forcing Leganes to chase the ball. However, they've been unable to carve open any chances just yet, with much of their play coming around the halfway line.
2'
Already you can see that Leganes are pressing Barcelona high up the pitch, trying to win the ball back in a dangerous area, as the visitors try to play the ball out from the back.

We're underway!
Good evening and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the LaLiga clash between Leganes and Barcelona.
The visitors have a good record against Leganes, winning their last four league games against the hosts, scoring 13 goals in the process. Barcelona are top of LaLiga after five games, level on points with Real Madrid, but Barca have a slightly better goal difference.
Let's take a look at the team news this evening...
LEGANES SUBS: Allan Nyom, Gerard Gumbau, Sabin Merino, Michael Santos, Guido Carrillo, Diego Rolan, Jon Serantes
LEGANES (5-4-1): Ivan Cuellar (GK); Juanfran, Rodrigo Tarin, Unai Bustinza (c), Raul Garcia, Jonathan Silva; Nabil El Zhar, Mikel Vesga, Ruben Perez, Oscar Rodriguez; Youssef En-Nesyri
BARCELONA SUBS: Jasper Cillessen, Nelson Semedo, Jordi Alba, Arthur, Arturo Vidal, Malcom, Luis Suarez
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (GK); Sergi Roberto, Gerard Piqué, Thomas Vermaelen, Samuel Umtiti; Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Philippe Coutinho; Lionel Messi (c), Munir El Haddadi, Ousmane Dembélé.
Barcelona dropped their first points of the campaign in a 2-2 home draw against Girona at the weekend, a game in which they went down to 10 men during the first half. The champions will be aiming to bounce back with a win tonight at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
Leganes come into this game at the bottom of the table with just one point, which came from a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad. However, they have gone on to suffer defeats against Real Madrid, Villareal and Eibar.
The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is almost upon us! Stay tuned for all of the match action!
Leganes have grown into the game, but haven't really threatened Ter Stegen in the Barcelona goal, a couple of half chances but no clear goalscoring opportunities. The longer the games continues at 1-0, the more chance the hosts have of nicking a late goal and sharing the points, if Barcelona continue to sit back and invite the pressure, rather than looking for the goal that could kill the game off.
Barcelona have dominated much of the first half and lead thanks to a superb goal by Coutinho early on. The Brazilian was given far too much time on the edge of the box and he punished the hosts with a terrific volley. Messi went close to doubling the visitors lead a couple of minutes later, but his curling strike hit the woodwork.
That's all from us tonight folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
The hosts move off the bottom of the table with this victory, which is their first of the season and one which will surely live long in the memories of their supporters. Barcelona remain top of LaLiga for now, however, Real Madrid are about to kick-off against Sevilla, so they may drop down to second spot following that game.
Leganes turned the game around in the second half, coming from a goal behind to beat Barcelona 2-1 after two goals within a minute. El Zhar scored the equalising goal, powering a header into the back of the net, before Rodriguez then managed to put Leganes ahead after a terrible mistake by Pique. The Barca defender made a horrible clearance, which fell straight to Rodriguez and he made no mistakes with the finish.
