Pito's first goal 

The encounter started with Barça pressing well and Pito opened the scoring after just 4 minutes with his first official goal for the blaugranes. Ferrao, Coelho and Lozano went close to adding a second before Pito doubled his tally and Barça's advantage on nine minutes, taking advantage of a mistake at the back by the Belarussians.

Bernat Povill added a fourth, turning in a corner for his first goal of the season to make it 4-0 to Barça at half time. 

With the game virtually decided, the second half saw a slight drop off in intensity. Viten sacrificed their keeper and pulled one back through Lazyuk only for Adolfo to round off the win for Barça with a fifth in the final minutes. 

Barça now face Levante on Wednesday at 3.30pm CEST in a game which could be vital in deciding who tops the Champions League group.
