FC Barcelona 40-26 BM Logroño La Rioja: Cup finalists!

With a majestic win in Zaragoza, Barça have beaten BM Logroño La Rioja 40-26 in the Copa Sacyr Asobal semi-final and will be appearing on Sunday’s grand final (6.00pm CEST) against CD Bidasoa Irún.

The blaugrana dominated from start to finish, and after ten minutes already had a sizeable lead to defend. With Dika Mem scoring five in the first half and Fabregas impressing on his return after appendicitis (he’d score seven in this game), Barça were +10 at the break, meaning the second half was nothing more than a formality.
