A dominant blaugrana performance sealed qualification for the Copa del Rey Final Four. FC Barcelona Futsal swept aside ElPozo Murcia Costa Cálida to book their place in Cáceres on 23–24 May. Martel led the rout with a hat-trick, while Antonio, Matheus, Sergio González and an own goal completed a comprehensive scoreline.

After surviving early pressure, Barça grew into the match and struck three times in a blistering spell. Antonio opened the scoring from the penalty spot, Rivera inadvertently made it 0–2, and Martel added a superb third. The visitors controlled the game from there, with Matheus extending the lead early in the second half.

ElPozo’s use of a rush goalkeeper failed to break Barça’s defence, and Martel struck again before the hosts pulled one back late on. The Georgian forward completed his hat-trick, and Sergio González wrapped up the scoring to cap an emphatic performance.
