Barcelona vs. Rubin Kazan

The Russian side stormed in front after just two minutes had been played when Aleksandr Ryazantsev hit perhaps the top goal of the tournament thus far. The midfielder latched onto the ball 35 yards from goal and unleashed thumping drive that beat Víctor Valdés, whose diving effort was in vain.

Barça pushed hard for the equalizer, but the Rubin defense held out until the half-time break, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic pulled the home side level in the 48th minute with his first of the campaign to make it 1-1.

Many thought Barcelona would cruise from that moment, but the visitors had completely different plans. With 73 minutes played, Turkish veteran Gökdeniz Karadeniz latched onto a throughball from Alejandro Domínguez, and the ball beat Valdés to make it 2-1.

Barça scrambled for a dramatic equalizer, and hit the woodwork twice through Ibrahimovic, and Yaya Touré in the dying seconds.

The ball stayed out, and Rubin claimed a famous victory in their club's history.
