Sergiño Dest Scores in Champions League for Barcelona

Sergiño Dest's first goal in a Barcelona shirt came on the Champions League stage.

The U.S. men's national team fullback scored the go-ahead goal for Barcelona at Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday, giving his shorthanded side a 1-0 lead.

Playing without the rested Lionel Messi and Frenkie de Jong and the injured Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto, Barcelona turned to the Dutch-American for its breakthrough. Dest surged forward on the right side of the box and tucked a shot inside the far post for the 52nd-minute finish.

In scoring, Dest became the first U.S. international to score for Barcelona.
