This is the fifth La Liga season that Lamine Yamal has played in for Barcelona. He just turned 19 last month.

Barca's Karim Adeyemi lays the ball off for Lamine Yamal, but his first-time effort from 20 yards goes over.

Not sure this would have counted as Elche's Tete Morente bumps a Barca player off the ball before swivelling and smashing a shot off the post.

Elche try to launch a long throw into the box but Barca head it out. Good to see it's not just an English thing.

They have had more 'final third entries' than Barcelona - 27 to 26.

Elche have been so positive today, plenty of attacking intent and runs forward. But the final ball has been missing big time.

At the other end Raphinha is almost played in but can't quite get it under control to shoot.

Oh that's a shame from an Elche point of view as a through ball is just overhit.

Neither side made any changes at the break - although Barca had to bring on Pedri for Gavi in the first half.

The second half is under way.

I'm just happy to be out of the house after being schooled by my seven-year-old in Mario Party a lot the last week. I had to hear a lot of talk about how he's the "game master".

I went very early in half-time with those two posts I'd prepared, didn't I?

This momentum graphic from Opta says Elche were actually the more threatening team for most of that half.

Barcelona scored in two of their little yellow bits of momentum.

It's not been a game of loads of chances. Neither keeper has made a save yet with the two goals being the only efforts on target.

Barcelona didn't have a shot in between their two goals - which were over half an hour apart.

Barcelona lead at the break.

Raphinha swings in an excellent cross which the stretching Marc Bernal shins over.

Barca have a free-kick on the left wing and this will be their final chance.

Not much happening in injury time so far. Elche's keeper punts a long free-kick up field.

The fourth official boards in La Liga this season look like a big battery because of a sponsorship deal.
