Barça 3-1 Jimbee Cartagena: Cup semi-finalists!

The goals took a long time coming, but the blaugrana have earned a match-up with Inter Movistar for a place in the grand final

Barça are chasing a sixth Spanish Cup and got off to the perfect start by beating Cartagena to reach the semi-finals. But it was no easy game. They ended up winning 3-1 and now have their eyes set on their next target, Inter Movistar.

 

It was a thunderously tight game, with no score until deep into the second half when Bernat Povill finally got things moving with just 12 minutes to go, and when Lozano doubled up, it looked like game over.

The woodwork was proving to Barça’s finest ally, but as Cartagena lamented, the Catalans rejoiced, and a goal from Coelho meant that when Cartagena did at last score, it was too little too late.
