Barça dominance early 

The blaugranes had the better of the game early on but it was the All Stars who took the lead in the first half in the Longxing Football Stadium in Chongqing with Totti beating Barça keeper Angoy with an excellent effort to put his side head on the quarter of an hour mark. 

The Legends had come close through Giovanni in the opening minutes but it was Saviola who found the equaliser with a little help from Carles Puyol. The Argentinian finished well after a perfect through ball from the Catalan defender with 10 minutes left in the first half. 

The blaugranes take control 

All square at the break, Barça took the momentum from the equaliser into the second half and Sorín and Saviola turned their dominance into goals. The Barça Legends saw Nolito make his debut for the team in a game ended with an excellent win for Albert 'Chapi' Ferrer's team in Chongqing, China.
