  • 46'
    SUBS: Valverde fields a strikingly different squad in this second half. Cillessen, Roberto, Pique, Alba, Cuenca, Paulinho, A Gomes, Coutinho, Vidal, Galarreta, Alcacer.
  • 46'
    The second-half gets underway at the FNB Stadium!
  • 45'
    [+2] The whistle blows for the end of the first half! Barcelona 2-0 Sundowns.
  • 45'
    [+2] Downs have a corner, and aim for a long-range strike from just outside the area but the ball is over.
  • 45'
    2 minutes of added time...
  • 44'
    Onyango comes flying forward from his line to claim a Barca chip from the right wing.
  • 42'
    CLOSE! SO CLOSE! Downs get into the box and the pace slows. Before teeing up a shot that just scrapes the wrong side of the netting on the near post.
  • 40'
    Approaching the end of the second half, and the two sides are fairly well matched on possession. Downs 48% to Barca 52%.
  • 34'
    SAVE! Kekana takes a shot from 30 yards outside the area, forcing Ter Stegen into action.
  • 31'
    There was a lot of confusion just there. Luis lost his footing, Denis thought he had scored and Onyango was nowhere to be found.
  • 31'
    CHANCE! Barca quick on the counter-attack with Denis Suarez making a break into the box. His shot is lacking power and a Downs defender scrambles to clear before Onyango can get back into position.
  • 30'
    CHANCE! Downs make rapid progress up the pitch, but their pass into the box is intercepted.
  • 27'
    CHANCE! Downs have two chances within two minutes. They are very nearly gifted their first goal by a Barca defender but Ter Stegen gets on the end of it.
  • 26'
    Langerman intercepts a Barca ball and immediately puts the pace on but nothing comes of it.
  • 24'
    Suarez and Downs' goalkeeper Onyango take a tumble together in the box.

  • 12'

  • 7'
