Through to the Copa Catalunya semifinal for Barça Atlètic, as Juliano Belletti's side have defeated NSA Camp Joliu in this single leg knockout match away from home.

A first-half goal by Roger was followed up by another by Brian Fariñas in the second half to help ensure qualification. No mean feat as the visitors were no pushovers and now Barça Atlètic await their next challenge, again just a single knockout match, which will decide who makes the final.

Blaugranes dominate and come through in the end

A good start for Barça Atlètic, which they continued throughout the half, having possesion and creating the best chances. They took the lead through Roger, whose shot from the centre of the pitch surprised the home keeper (0-1, min 22). Camp Joliu came back, however, and they made the most of an interception in the blaugrana defence when Rafa Ribero scored (1-1, min 30).

No further goals before the break, despite more chances, and it needed a low shot from the edge of the area by Brian Fariñas that the keeper couldn't keep out to give Barça Atlètic a second goal (1-2, min 64).

The blaugranes then maintained control of the match, albeit creating fewer chances, with the game played a lot more in midfield towards the end, partly due to Camp Joliu giving it their all to get their equaliser. Ultimately it didn't come and Barça Atlètic went through to the Copa Catalunya semifinals.
