Goal 1 was due to a defensive mistake (in effect an assist) by Dinka, Shakhtar's Croatian captain. Shakhtar was playing 9 men behind the ball when Messi played a through ball to Villa only to have Darijo Srna deflect to the waiting Iniesta who stuck it in the tight space between the GK and goal post. Barcelona 1-0 in the 2nd minute.
With Shakhtar still playing 9 men behind the ball, new daddy Iniesta flicked a nice long volley to the middle of the box where a diagonally speeding Alves beat the offside trap with blistering pace and out flanked the on-looking Pyatov. One of the most intelligent goals that I have seen in a long time! Pure brilliance. Barca up 2-0
