7′ GOAL! Depay converts from the penalty spot to send Barcelona ahead after just seven minutes, it’s 1-0! Depay won the penalty after a clumsy challenge by Radoja and he coolly stepped up to take it, sending Fernandez the wrong way and firing the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.
6′ BARCA PENALTY! Depay skips past Miramon down the left wing and then Radoja sticks out a leg as he races into the penalty area and the Barca man falls straight to the ground. There was clear contact and the referee immediately points to the spot.
4′ Roger tries to get onto a long ball over the top of the Barca defence, but Garcia gets across quickly and is unable to clear it high up the pitch, so has to kick it out of play in the final third.
2′ Barca get forward well down the left wing and Dest takes on Miramon, beats him and tries to pick out a teammate in the box with a cross. However, his cross is poor and flies out of play.
1′ We’re under way!
The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all the match action!
