He outpaced Palio despite the latter's attempt to stop him, before passing the ball to Raphinha, but Logon accidentally put it into his own net.
Anthony Gordon made the difference in the 71st minute, when he received a through ball from Koundé, advanced into the penalty area, and flicked it with his heel to Raphinha, who went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and scored FC Barcelona's fourth goal.
