Barcelona's Three Goals

Barcelona made an excellent start when Anthony Gordon opened the scoring just two minutes into the match, giving the home side an early advantage and allowing them to control the pace of the game.

The Catalan side continued to put pressure on Getafe's defense, and Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus doubled the lead in the 30th minute, sending Barcelona into halftime with a comfortable two-goal advantage.

Barcelona remained in control during the second half before French defender Jules Kounde scored the third goal in the 73rd minute, securing a convincing 3-0 victory.

In the 81st minute, Egyptian youngster Hamza Abdelkarim came on to replace Gabriel Jesus, making his second appearance for Barcelona's first team this season.
