Rashford celebrating his goal
Marcus Rashford has officially opened his account for FC Barcelona, scoring his first goal for the club during their 5-0 victory over South Korean side FC Daegu on Monday, August 4, 2025.
This was the final match of their preseason Asia tour.
The 27-year-old forward, who joined Barça on loan from Manchester United earlier this summer, came off the bench in the second half to replace Robert Lewandowski and made an immediate impact.
With Barcelona already cruising at 4-0, Rashford capped off the night with a well-taken finish in the closing stages.
A sharp low cross from defender Eric García found him unmarked in the box, and Rashford made no mistake, his first-time shot flew past the Daegu goalkeeper, sealing an emphatic win.
It was Rashford’s first goal in three preseason appearances for the Catalan side.
His earlier outings against Vissel Kobe and FC Seoul had seen him show flashes of promise, but the goal against Daegu marks a confident breakthrough as he adjusts to life in La Liga.
The game also saw standout performances from Gavi, who netted a brace, and Lewandowski, who scored once before being substituted.
Rising 17-year-old talent Toni Fernández added his name to the scoresheet with a fourth before Rashford wrapped things up.
Barcelona now end their preseason tour of Asia unbeaten, scoring 15 goals across three matches.
Rashford’s goal is sure to excite fans as the club prepares for the upcoming La Liga season.
