Sala 10 Zaragoza 5–7 FC Barcelona: Into the last eight

It needed extra time to do it, but the Catalans advance in the Copa del Rey

Barça have defeated Sala 10 Zaragoza in the last sixteen of the Copa del Rey following a tremendous battle that was eventually decided in overtime.

The quarter final will be on February 21 against Palma Futsal, Movistar Inter, Jimbee Cartagena or one of the other four teams that have yet to qualify.

 

It was a true thriller. Zaragoza took a third minute lead, and although Coelho only needed four more minutes to produce a reaction, a Richi Felipe penalty had Zaragoza back ahead in time for the break.

Barça then swung things around to lead 3-2 through Dyego and Adolfo, only for Zaragoza to square things up at 3-3.

Two goals from Pito then looked to have secured a victory for the blaugrana, but two conceded goals right at the very end meant we were headed for additional time.

That produced yet more drama, with balls hitting the woodwork, and spectacular saves at both ends before Pito finally gave Barça the edge and Lozano wrapped things up from the penalty spot. What a game!
