Barça 4-2 Corinthians: Friendship is the winner

Andreu Plaza's side won in the Palau, in the solidarity match for the benefit of the Inclusive Project for Diversity

Barça's futsal side hosted Corinthians in a friendly for which all the proceeds have gone to the Diversity Project that the Barça Foundation carries out in the Les Corts neighbourhood. Although the match was to help the project, Barça's practically total dominance at least kept the 1,944 in attendance happy.

Two-nil up at the break with goals from Roger and Boyis, the Catalans were cruising until Deives reduced the deficit with a penalty (2-1, min 34). The visitors' joy was short-lived as Dyego put the hosts back in front within a minute (3-1, min 35), though Deives grabbed his second a minute from the end to keep things interesting. As they pushed forward for the equaliser, Ximbinha's goal won the match for Barça.
