However, Puig did not finish the game after being stretchered off following a heavy challenge.
Here’s a look at the incident:
Minuto 95, 1-1 en el marcador. Esta es la entrada criminal que un jugador del Llagostera le ha hecho a Riqui Puig por detrás y que le ha hecho salir en camilla del campo. ¿Sabéis lo mejor de todo? Sólo ha sido amarilla. VERGONZOSO. pic.twitter.com/cUc55o7EFG

Barcelona B offered a brief update after the match which suggests the injury is not serious, although they say he is set to have additional tests.
The injury comes a week after Puig was given some pretty harsh treatment in Barca B’s 3-0 win over Orihuela.
Manager Fran Garcia Pimienta complained after the match about the “brutal challenges” made on his midfielder in an attempt to stop him.
Let’s hope he’s OK.
