Barça 3–3 (3-2) Burela: Into the Copa del Rey semi-finals!

Andreu Plaza's men seal qualification to the semifinals after a nerve-wracking penalty shoot out

Burela took the lead in this match with a goal from Matamoros (0-1, min 2). Barça reacted quickly but visiting goalkeeper Edu was in fine form. Lozano and Daniel also went close for Barça, and the hosts' patience was rewarded in the 15th minute, Marcenio scoring from long range. Into the second half, Lozano put Barça ahead, (2-1, min 25), before Ximbinha made it 3-1 just a minute later.

Burela on terms

Xande took advantage of a shot against the post by Matamoros to reduce the deficit (3-2, 29 minutes), and then Matamoros was on target again two minutes later to draw the visitors level. Two extra periods of three minutes came and went without goals, so a penalty shoot-out decided who would progress to the semi-finals. Boyis and Lozano scored the first two penalties, before the visitors missed their second. Dyego took advantage to score and send Barça through.
