Summary of the game

Mykola Shaparenko's shot went agonizingly after catching the Barca defence unawares early minutes in the game.

The Spanish giants thought they won a penalty after Fati was adjudged to have been fouled inside the box but after a look at the VAR, the decision was cancelled.

The 19-year-old also had his moment in the game but he could not keep his shot down after finding some openings in Dynamo's defence.

The moment of the game came in the 70th minute as Fati score the match-winner after being left unmarked in the box.

The goal was enough to secure the Catalans' second win in the group after losing their first two matches.

Barcelona are now second in Group E after Bayern Munich were too hot to handle for Benfica as they thrashed the Portuguese side by 5-2 with Robert Lewandowski scoring a hat-trick.

La Blagurana will be playing Benfica in the next game at the Camp Nou and Sergi's men will be looking for a revenge after losing the first leg.
