Just two minutes later, the same scenario repeated itself when Roony Bardghji delivered a perfect cross for Torres to volley home, putting Barca ahead 2-1.

The visitors' dominance was evident in the 31st minute when Bardghji, the 20-year-old Swedish star, scored with a close-range angled shot to make it 3-1.
