Barça 5-2 Igualada: Into the semi finals of the Copa

Barça's perseverance paid off against Igualada as Edu Castro's team came from behind twice to claim a place in the semi-finals of the cup. 

The blaugranes fell behind after just two minutes of the game after a card for Helder Nunes gave Riba the chance to put Igualada ahead. Nevertheless, after six minutes Barça were level, João Rodrigues finishing well from an Alabart pass. 

A penalty from Riba saw Igualada take the lead once again in the first half, an advantage they kept until half time. 

In the second half the blaugranes asserted control with Nunes scoring a penalty to make it 2-2 on 35 minutes. After that the floodgates opened and two goals from Alabart and one from Marc Grau secured the win which means they will face the winner of Reus v Calafell in the semi final on Saturday at 9pm CET.
