It took just 51 seconds for the visitors to take the lead with João Rodrigues giving them the lead. Further strikes from Bargalló and Pablo Álvarez gave Barça a 3-0 lead at the break. 

The avalanche of goals came in the second half with Pablo Álvarez adding three more to his personal tally. Young Portuguese keeper Xano Edo made his debut for the first team as Edu Castro's team took a debut win in a competition they have won no less than 22 times. Their next game now comes in the league against Reus Deportiu on Tuesday.
