Ferencvárosi TC vs Barcelona Highlights

 

90' + 4' FULL TIME: FERENCVAROS 0-3 BARCELONA 

90' + 3' ALMOST! Puig sets Dembele away in behind the home side’s defence, and the Frenchman looks to chip Dibusz. On his right foot, the attacker lofts his effort inches wide of the near post from the right side of the box.  

90' + 1' Prior to this match, Barcelona had won eight of their last nine Champions League games without Messi following a 2-1 defeat to Ajax in November 2013. Should this result stay the same, then the Spanish side will extend that run to nine matches.  

90' There will be three added minutes at the end of this match.

88' OPENING! Following a free-kick from the left, the ball ricochets around inside the visitors’ penalty area and drops to the feet of Blazic. From the centre of the box, the defender miskicks his attempt, before Kharatin fires a follow-up effort straight at Alena.  

86' De la Fuente pulls back Botka and Ferencvaros are awarded a free-kick deep inside their own half.

84' SHOULD BE FOUR! A costly error allows Puig to launch a two-on-one counter. The midfielder drives into the penalty area and squares it for Dembele, who then looks to play the return pass instead of going for goal. The Frenchman’s ball is cut out, and the home side clear their lines.

83' Dvali plays a forward pass into the feet of Laidouni, who turns into space, and fires a long-range effort straight at Neto. 

I. Kharatin

Somália

81' Ferencvaros make their fifth and final change. Somalia makes way for Kharatin. 

K. De La Fuente

M. Braithwaite

80' The scorer of the away side’s second goal, Braithwaite, is brought off for De la Fuente. There are ten minutes of normal time left to play. 

79' WIDE! Koeman’s side have upped the tempo since the arrivals of Alena and Puig. Following some clever link-up play, Alena tees the ball up for Pjanic, who fires a well-struck shot just wide to the left of Dibusz’s goal.  

77' Ferencvaros are once again unable to get out of their own defensive third. After a good spell of possession, Dembele cuts inside and onto his right foot, before lashing a low strike towards goal, which Dibusz is able to keep out at his near post.  

75' Following his goal tonight, Braithwaite became only the second Barcelona player to score in their first two Champions League starts for the club. David Villa was the first back in 2010.  

73' SAVE! Lovrencsics picks the ball up in acres of space down the left flank and whips an inviting cross into the visitors’ box. Baturina gets between Lenglet and Mingueza, but steers his header straight at Neto. He should have done better there.  

R. Baturina

M. Uzuni

71' Uzuni is also brought off, with Baturina coming on in his place. 

R. Mak

T. Nguen

71' Rebrov once again turns to his bench as we enter the final 20 minutes. Mak replaces Nguen. 

Trincão

Yellow Card

70' Trincao catches Laidouni’s ankles with a late challenge deep inside the homes side’s half and picks up a yellow card.  

69' In the other Group G match, Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata have extended Juventus’ lead over Dynamo Kiev. It is now 3-0. 

67' OPENING! Puig lays the ball off to Dembele down the left side of the Ferencvaros penalty area, and the Frenchman steers a right-footed shot inches wide of the near post.

Riqui Puig

A. Griezmann

65' Puig also enters the fray for Barca in place of Griezmann, who scored the opening goal.

A. Laïdouni

D. Sigér

64' Siger is also replaced by Laidouni. 

G. Lovrencsics

M. Heister

64' Rebrov opts to make his first alteration of the match, as Heister makes way for Lovrencsics. It remains 3-0. 

62' Ferencvaros launch a quick counter, which results in Nguen laying the ball to Isael down the right side of the Barca penalty area. The winger’s first-time shot deflects behind for a corner off Lenglet, before the set-piece is dealt with by Braithwaite. 

60' Trincao is unable to latch onto Pjanic’s pass, and pulls Hiester to the floor midway inside the hosts’ half. Free-kick to Ferencvaros. 

58' Barca are looking to win each of their first five Champions League group games for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign. 

56' Dembele sweeps an early cross into the Ferencvaros box towards Braithwaite. The delivery, however, evades the Danish striker, who was totally unmarked in the centre.

55' WIDE! Dembele goes on a surging run from his own half, skipping beyond several Ferencvaros players. Upon getting to the left side of the hosts’ penalty area, the attacker cuts onto his right foot and pulls his shot into the side netting.  

A. Griezmann

Yellow Card

53' Trincao loses possession to Somalia, and Griezmann opts to cynically bring the midfielder down as he looked to drive at the away side’s defence. The Frenchman is booked for that foul. 

51' Pjanic intercepts Dvani’s pass on the edge of the hosts’ penalty area before firing a right-footed shot well over the top of Dibusz’s goal.  

49' CHANCE! Siger slides Heister in down the left-hand side of the field, and his low cross is fired straight at Lenglet by Nguen. The rebound falls to Siger, who curls his effort from range wide to the right of Neto’s goal. 

48' BLOCK! The visitors have started the second half on the front foot. Griezmann combines well with Trincao to send the Portuguese winger into the hosts’ penalty area. He cuts onto his left foot, but his shot is well blocked by Dvali.  

46' We are back underway! Kulbakov, the referee, blows his whistle and Barca get the second half kicked off. 

Junior Firpo

Jordi Alba

46' It is a double substitution at half-time for the away side as Firpo replaces Alba.  

F. de Jong

Busquets

46' Prior to the start of the second half, Koeman turns to his bench. The first change sees De Jong come on for the booked Busquets.   

45' + 1' HALF TIME: FERENCVAROS 0-3 BARCELONA

45' Blazic finds Uzuni with a throughball over the top, but the winger made his run too early and is flagged for offside.  

44' Nguen presses the ball as Mingueza sends it all the way back to Neto, but he is the only one who is chasing for the hosts.

42' Botka handles the ball in the centre of the park and Barca are given a free-kick. Koeman’s side are in total control as we approach half-time. 

40' Dest once again breaks into space down the right flank, but this time his cross is too close to Dibusz, who easily gathers the ball. 

38' In the other match in Group G, Federico Chiesa has given Juventus the lead against Dynamo Kiev. 

36' Busquets clips Botka and Ferencvaros win a free-kick just on the edge of the visitors’ box. Uzuni’s cross is headed to the edge of the box and Heister's follow-up effort from range ricochets around in the penalty area, before Siger fouls Lenglet from behind.

34' WHAT A CHANCE! Griezmann finds space between the hosts’ defence and midfield before sliding a pass into the penalty area for Braithwaite. The Danish striker sets himself, but Frimpong gets across to make a much-needed tackle and the ball sails wide of the far post.

32' Shortly after going into the book, Busquets lofts an inch-perfect throughball beyond the Ferencvaros defence for Trincao. The winger takes the ball down well and looks to tee up Braithwaite, although his pass deflects off Blazic and into the gloves of Dibusz.

O. Dembélé

Penalty Goal

28' GOAL! Dembele converts! The Frenchman sends Dibusz the wrong way as he fires the penalty into the bottom-left corner. 3-0. 

26' PENALTY! Braithwaite runs off the shoulder of Frimpong, and the defender lunges into the challenge and gets none of the ball down the right side of the hosts’ penalty area. Dembele steps up to take the penalty... 

24' Koeman’s team are allowing Ferencvaros to knock the ball around in their half in an effort to draw their opponents out. Braithwaite, Dembele and Trincao are pressing at every opportunity. 

22' Trincao is a little too eager to win the ball from Heister and concedes a free-kick inside the home side’s half. 

20' GOAL! The visitors quickly double their lead! Dembele skips beyond Botka with ease before lashing a left-footed cross into a dangerous area. Frimpong misses the delivery, and Braithwaite arrives to steer the ball into the bottom-right corner from a few yards out. 2-0.

O. Dembélé

Assist

20' Assist Ousmane Dembélé

18' OPPORTUNITY! Dembele once again finds Alba in space down the left wing, and the Spaniard pulls a low cross towards the penalty spot. Trincao arrives to meet it in the centre of the box, but steers his shot wide of the far post.

16' Following their opening goal, the away side continue to dictate the tempo of the game. Ferencvaros are struggling to get out of their own half. 

Jordi Alba

Assist

14' Dembele and Alba have caused so many problems down the left flank in the opening stages, and, on this occasion, they work a clear-cut opportunity. The full-back's cross invites Griezmann to gamble at the near post, and he applies a clinical finish. That is a wonderful goal.

A. Griezmann

Goal

14' GOAL! Barca take the lead! Dembele slides the ball down the left-hand side of the field for the overlapping Alba. The Spaniard sets himself before delivering a low cross in towards the near post, which Griezmann cleverly flicks beyond Dibusz and into the middle of the goal. 1-0. 

12' Some clever link-up play on the edge of the hosts’ box sees Braithwaite steer a well-weighted throughball beyond Ferencvaros’ defence for Alba. The full-back takes a touch before firing straight at Dibusz and the flag goes up for offside.

10' Somalia looks to drive the home side up the field. Dest shows good pace to stick with the midfielder, and eventually nips in to win possession back for the visitors. 

9' Alba looks to get in down the left wing following a quick one-two with Dembele, but the Frenchman’s return pass is overhit and runs out for a goal-kick. 

8' Isael is penalised for a handball midway inside his own half. Barca are awarded the free-kick.

6' Ferencvaros come forward for the first time in this match through Botka, who lays the ball off to his right for Isael. The winger cuts inside before firing a pass at Nguen, and he is unable to retain possession following a heavy first touch. 

4' CHANCE! Koeman’s side have quickly settled into their rhythm here. Dest skips past Heister down the right-hand side of the field before sending a low cross into the box. Braithwaite gets across his man, although his near-post flick goes wide of Dibusz’s goal.

3' The hosts lose the ball deep inside their own half down the left flank. Dembele turns into space and plays a throughball towards Braithwaite. The attacker goes for goal from an acute angle, but Frimpong gets across to block the effort. 

1' Kick off! The referee, Aleksey Kulbakov, blows his whistle and Ferencvaros get the game underway.
