Barça capitalise on dismissal of visitors’ Hezze
Kairat Almaty held at home by Pafos of Cyprus
A Fermin López hat-trick and two goals from Marcus Rashford powered Barcelona to a commanding 6-1 Champions League victory over Olympiakos.
The match got off to a flying start when the 22-year-old López opened the scoring from a rebound in the seventh minute and he doubled his tally in the 39th, finishing off a lightning-quick counterattack.
Olympiakos had a glimmer of hope early in the second half when Ayoub El Kaabi cut the deficit to 2-1 with a penalty, but the visiting side’s momentum was short-lived as Santiago Hezze was controversially sent off in the 57th minute for a second yellow card.
