Barcelona’s Juvenil A has lost a thrashing to Dinamo Kiev (4-1) in the Youth League, in a match conditioned by the expulsion of Barça player Ilias Akhomach in the first half, when the result was a 1-1 draw.
Until the moment of the expulsion, the party has been quite even. AND, Despite the fact that the Ukrainians quickly advanced through Samba Diallo (1-0, min. 2), with a good shot from the cross, the Catalans were able to react. Two good chances for Ilias would be the prelude to the tying goal: a great pass from Txus Alba into space and Juanda, from within the area, surpassed Neshcheret in one on one (1-1, min. 36).
The goal gave the prize to the insistence of the culé, but immediately afterwards the action would arrive that would mark the outcome of the game. Ilias Akhomach, who already had a yellow card, has seen the second, for a foul in the center of the field. So that, Barça was left with one less at 41 minutes of play, and also, just before half-time a new local goal would arrive, Popov’s work, with a header.
After the restart, the game got even more uphill when Diachuk headed the third (3-1, min. 66). And Samba has closed the local account, marking 4-1 with eight minutes remaining.
The Barça defeat in Kiev complicates their qualifying options, as they are third in the group with four points. And is that Barça must now win the remaining two games against Benfica and Bayern, and hope that Benfica will lose to Dinamo.
