  • 90'
    [+3] Into stoppage time, and as Downs made several substitions, Pique was heard asking how long left to play...
  • 90'
    [+2] SUBS: Lebese comes on for Zwane, Morena comes on for Ngongca.
  • 90'
    SUBS: Tau gives way for Brockie.
  • 89'
    SAVE! Messi attempts a long-range shot from 25 yards that looks promising, but Mweene gathers on the second attempt.
  • 84'
    OFFSIDE! Zwane's shot bounces off the inside of the crossbar and looked to be tantalisingly close, except the offside flag was up...

Goal

de Barcelona en el 67'
  • 67'
    GOAL! Some dismal defending allows Barca to capitalise and Andre Gomes makes it magic number 3! Alcacer picks up the assist.
  • 66'
    Sundowns swap off their goalkeeper, who despite conceding twice, has been on good form. SUB: Onyango comes off for Mweene.

    SAVE! Onyango makes a very comfortable two-handed save after a somewhat half-hearted attempt from Barca on the right wing.

  • 56'
    SAVE! Onyango gets on the end of Andre Gomes' shot to deny them a third.
  • 52'
    SAVE! Goalkeeper Cillessen immediately proves his worth as he gets low to stop a Sundowns' strike.
  • 47'
    CLOSE! Alcacer and Vidal link up to provide a chance for Galarreta but he shoots just wide.
  • 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'

  • 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.

    Langerman intercepts a Barca ball and immediately puts the pace on but nothing comes of it.

    Suarez and Downs' goalkeeper Onyango take a tumble together in the box.
