Pique with striker's finish to put Barca 1-0 up!

Barcelona were better in the early exchanges of the match against Dynamo Kiev who did what they could to stop them. The Catalans had the best chances in the first half although they were not doing well in front of goal. 

However, Barcelona's main men started to appear on the scene and that was good news for the Catalans. On the stroke of half-time, Pique shot a Jordi Alba cross from inside the box to make it 1-0. 

The central defender, who had gone into attack for the corner, took advantage of the poor Ukrainian defence and he was one on one with Bushchan. The number 3, without letting the ball touch the ground, hit it first time to beat the opposing goalie.

Barcelona went ahead in a game which did not deserve to be 0-0. The Catalans drew first blood and they will try and increase the lead in the second half so that they do suffer a nasty surprise.
