Barca stunned by clinical Chivas
Chivas Guadalajara stunned Barcelona with two second half goals in two minutes to win 4-1 on Wednesday in a pre-season friendly.
Marco Fabian's brilliant brace got the crowd of over 70,000 at Sun Life Stadium rocking as Chivas came from a goal down at halftime to beat Pep Guardiola's side.David Villa had put Barcelona ahead in the third minute after a fine through ball from Gerard Pique sent him clear of the Chivas defence. Villa made no mistake with the finish, slotting the ball past the exposed goalkeeper.
However, Chivas were to have the last laugh and Fabian turned the game on its head with two superb strikes.
The first, the equaliser in the 60th minute, was a 30-yard blast into the upper corner of the European champions' net while the second was an athletic first-time volley in the box from Omar Arellano's cross.
Giovani Casillas made it 3-1 to Chivas in the 71st minute after more poor marking from the Catalans.
Chivas added a fourth goal in stoppage time thanks to Jose Luis Verduzco.
