Barcelona continued their preparations for the upcoming season with a 2-0 friendly win over Vissel Kobe on Saturday. Carles Perez scored the goals for the Catalans.
Barcelona had a few chances in the first half, but their passing lacked the clinical edge to unsettle Kobe's defence. The second-half substitutes had better luck, and Perez combined with Malcom to open the scoring after 59 minutes. He added a second with four minutes remaining.
Former Blaugrana players Andres Iniesta, David Villa and Sergi Samper all started for the hosts.
Vissel had a solid start to the match, but throughout the half, the best chances fell to the visitors.
