Fati fires Barca to Dynamo win
The Catalans’ maiden away victory of the season in all competitions allowed them to move above Benfica, after their 5-2 loss at Bayern Munich, who qualified for the last 16.
Home boss Mircea Lucescu dropped forward Benjamin Verbic for Denys Garmash as midfielder Serhiy Sydorchuk captained the side after scoring twice in Saturday’s league win over FK Maiupol.
Temporary Barca coach Sergi Barjuan made three changes from the weekend’s draw with Alaves as Fati started instead of Sergio Aguero.
Argentina striker Aguero is set to miss at least three months of action while his treatment for a heart problem is assessed.
The sides had scored just once between them in their opening three matches of this year’s competition and the run continued during a slow first half.
The best opportunity before the interval fell to Barca’s Nico Gonzalez but his header was blocked two metres from the Dynamo line by team-mate Memphis Depay.
The breakthrough came with 20 minutes left as teenager Fati scored his third goal of the season.
