scala - filter and report multiple predicates

This is a kind of cosmetic Scala question. A list with objects needs to be filtered on the objects' attributes. I need to report if the first check on the attribute results in an empty list. Simplified code:

case class Account (id: Int, balance: Float)

def doFilter(list: List[Account], focusId: Int, thresHold: Float): List[Account] = {
  list.filter(_.id == focusId)
  // ## if at this point if the list is empty, an error log is required.
    .filter(_.balance >= thresHold)
}

var accounts = List(Account(1, 5.0f), Account(2, -1.0f), Account(3, 10f), Account(4, 12f))

println(s"result ${doFilter(accounts, 1, 0f)}")

Of course I can split up the filter statements and check the intermediate result but I was hoping I could do it more scala way.. I thought something like.

list.filter(_.id == focusId) 
match { case List() => { println "error"; List()}
case _ => _}

But that doesn't work. Is there a functional (or fluent) way to implement the desired behaviour?

If you need it once, then logging an intermediate result is, probably, the simplest way. If you need this at several places, you can make the code a bit nicer using extension methods:

implicit class ListOps[+A](val list: List[A]) extends AnyVal {
    def logIfEmpty(): List[A] = {
      if (list.isEmpty) {
      println("Error: empty list") 
      // or whatever; you can even pass it as an argument
    }
    list
  }
}

Then you can use it like this:

def doFilter(list: List[Account], focusId: Int, thresHold: Float): List[Account] = list
  .filter(_.id == focusId)
  .logIfEmpty()
  .filter(_.balance >= thresHold)
