After the halftime break, Barcelona kept going at it but no meaningful end product to their rather calm and domineering build up towards goal.
However, in the 64 minute Deportivo equalized through Emre Colak against the run of play.
Barcelona from then onwards seemed unperturbed and were not going to allow Deportivo’s quest to stay up spoil the party.
