This one is from Ecuador, and they brushed aside their Uruguayan rivals in the first match of the CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana group stage

It must be pretty challenging to carry such responsibility that the name of Barcelona brings with itself.

Especially if you're named by the Spanish giants and have an almost identical club crest to the Camp Nou outfit.

So when you call yourself Barca, you ought to deliver the same show as Xavi's boys. And that's precisely what the South American version of Barcelona did in their maiden CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana group stage game on Thursday night. In the Ecuadorian city of Guayaquil, Barcelona SC hosted the Uruguayan slot Montevideo Wanderers and found the back of the net quite easily, not once, not twice, but four times for the 4-2 win.

And that last one was un "obre de arte", a work of art in Spanish that even Xavi Hernandez and his boys wouldn't be ashamed of.

Damian Kitu Diaz, who previously failed to score from the spot, demonstrated how cunning he was. He spotted the keeper far away from the goal line and launched a superb shot with the outside of his right foot for a stadium delirium.

An 'Olympic goal', and quite sensational too. When you're called Barca, then play like Barca.
