A blistering performance from FC Barcelona closed the night at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, with a convincing 4-0 victory over Elche CF. The home side struggled to contain a free-scoring Barcelona, despite constructing more corner kick opportunities and maintaining a higher level of shooting activity.

The prowess of Robert Lewandowski was soundly displayed as he scored two out of four goals for Barcelona, and provided an assist to Ferran Torres for the 4th goal. Anssumane Fati scored the second goal for FC Barcelona to continue the away side dominance, with the aid of Ferran Torres' assist.

Significantly, Elche's inability to convert their shots into goals was pivotal. Their tally of 15 attempted shots only produced 2 on target, a sad testament to their lack of clinical precision. Barcelona, on the other hand, showed a higher precision with 6 shots on target from 12 attempts.

Defensively, both teams committed similar faults with 11 fouls each. Barcelona's aggressive gameplay did lead to three players, Araujo, Lewandowski, and Gavira, being booked. This, however, didn't inhibit their offensive momentum with all three players playing key roles in the scoring mechanism. Elche CF surprisingly maintained a disciplined line with zero yellow cards.

Barcelona's control over possession is also indicated by their lower count of corner kicks, three, compared to the home team's 11. Additionally, despite having fewer offsides (3 against home team's 4), they managed to dominate the play.

In conclusion, a combination of lethal striking from Lewandowski, skillful assists from Araujo, Torres, and Gavira and a far superior shooting accuracy led to Barcelona's emphatic win over Elche CF, despite the home team's more frequent attempts at goal and consistently aggressive football as indicated by their high shot and corner counts. Elche CF needs to greatly improve their shooting precision if they are to turn their territorial gains and aggressive play into scorelines.
