Emilio Nsue headed a shock equaliser to sting Barca as Pep Guardiola's fell three points behind Primera Division leaders Valencia.
Lionel Messi gave Barcelona the lead after 20 minutes on his first league start since injuring an ankle in the 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid two weeks ago.

The Yellow Submarine had been aiming to go top of the table for the first time in their history, but those hopes were scuppered on Saturday as leaders Valencia beat Athletic Bilbao to hold on to first place.

Nilmar opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the season after eight minutes and Giuseppe Rossi doubled the hosts' lead five minutes later.

First-half goals from Dani Parejo and Manu del Moral set Getafe on their way and substitute Miku added a third late on to seal a convincing win for Michel's side, who also hit the woodwork twice.
Hercules, who have caused two huge upsets this season with wins over Barcelona and Sevilla, could have no complaints about the result and a disappointing afternoon for them was complete when they had Abel Aguilar sent off in the 89th minute.
Levante came away from Osasuna with a barely deserved 1-1 draw after being outclassed by their hosts for much of the encounter at Estadio Reyno de Navarra.
After spurning a glut of chances, Osasuna finally went ahead through Walter Pandiani 18 minutes from time only for Levante to level through Sergio Gonzalez seven minutes later with their first shot on target.
Juanfran might have snatched all the points for the hosts late on but Levante goalkeeper Manuel Reina, as he did for much of the afternoon, stood up to the chance.
Kalu Uche's missed penalty proved crucial as Almeria were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Malaga.
Malaga, who entered the game with two wins from two on the road, had seen Pereira Eliseu sent off in the 40th minute for violent conduct after he reacted to a heavy challenge by Juanma Ortiz.
But the visitors made light of their numerical disadvantage to take the lead through Quincy Owusu-Abeyie four minutes after the interval.
Uche then had a chance to level matters but Ruben Martinez saved his penalty, although the striker did go on to grab his side's equaliser with 14 minutes remaining.

The home side, who were bottom of La Liga heading into this game, looked down and out when an Ivan Obradovic own goal and a penalty from Diego Castro put them two goals down.
They were also down to 10 men after Jiri Jarosik was dismissed for giving away the spot-kick but Sinama Pongolle struck twice in four minutes to earn a share of the spoils.
Real Sociedad ended a three-match losing streak by seeing off Espanyol thanks to a late own goal from visiting defender Juan Forlin at the Anoeta.
An evenly-matched encounter looked destined to finish in a draw until Forlin inadvertently put the ball into his own net as he acrobatically tried to clear the danger after Jeffrey Sarpong's free-kick had come back off the woodwork.
That was in the 86th minute and proved to be the winner, although Sociedad were indebted to goalkeeper Claudio Bravo for keeping their lead intact after he produced two brilliant saves in stoppage time - leaving Espanyol still without any points or goals away from home.
