A good point well earned by Alaves, but Barcelona will surely feel they had enough chances to win this match. It was a backs to the wall job by the home side for much of the second half, but they were well organised and showed their determination after being reduced to 10 men with 30 minutes left to play.
End of 2nd Half
90+5'
FULL TIME: Alaves 1-1 Barcelona
90+4'
Full on Barcelona pressure in stoppage time of this match. Where was this sort of urgency 20 minutes ago? This is a training ground drill for Alaves. They have one minute left to hold on. Messi has a shot deflected wide.
90+3'
There will be five minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.
90+2'
Two chances for Pique! First, the Barcelona centre back has a header cleared off the line. Then he scuffs an effort wide when he really should have hit the target at the very least!
90+1'
Pjanic from distance! Barcelona are battering on the door now! Pjanic takes aim from 20 yards out, but Pacheco makes the diving save to push the ball up and over his own crossbar.
90'
DEST... saved! Messi plays the shot freekick back to Dest, the shot from the American international was a powerful one, but Pacheco makes the save to tip the effort round the post!
89'
Duarte is booked for bringing down Trincao. He had to do that. Messi had the ball in the net moments ago, but the flag was up for a clear offside.

Barcelona still can't find a way through this Alaves defence. The home side have done such a good job of holding their own since being reduced to 10 men. Edging closer to a point.
87'
86'
Messi dropping deep to pick up the ball and drive it forward. He has plenty options ahead of him, with the Barcelona number 10 taking it upon himself to make something happen.
85'
It's a backs to the wall job for Alaves now, but Barcelona are struggling to create opportunities. Koeman has three attackers on the pitch now. Can they net a second?
84'
That last change was a surprising one from Koeman. Ansu had been the most potent player on the pitch for Barcelona in this second half. He wasn't fading either. Strange.

Braithwaite comes on for Barcelona. He replaces... Ansu?!

Another Pacheco save! Ansu gets the shot away on goal, but the Alaves goalkeeper makes the stop. Less than 10 minutes to go now. Alaves are edging closer and closer to a point.

PICTURE: Can Griezmann grab a second?
79'
Almost another Neto blunder! The Barcelona goalkeeper found himself in trouble once again following a back pass, but he gets away with this one and plays the pass out from the back.

It's all Barcelona at the moment. Complete dominance from the Catalans since the red card, but Alaves are camped inside their own area and are throwing bodies in front of shots.
