However, Voltregá didn’t give up and they managed to get back into the game in the last minute of the first half, Barça had committed ten fouls and the home side made the most of this with a goal from a direct free kick from Ignacio Alabart, who is on loan from the blaugranas.
Second half starts in style
Following the break, Matías Pascual beat Candid Ballart with the Argentinian’s 17th goal of the season for the Catalans. The opposition keeper produced various impressive saves from Bargalló, Gual and Pablo Álvarez until the later managed to beat Ballart in the 34th minute.
However, once again, Barça committed enough fouls to give the opposition another chance to get in touch with a free kick which Alabart took but was thwarted by the excellent Egurrola. Following this, Lucas Ordóñez was able to convert a free kick of his own which gave Barça its third Argentinian scorer of the night.
The second half proved to be very exciting and in the 44th minute Alabart beat Agurrola to cut Barça’s lead to 5-2. Three minutes later another Lucas goal secured qualification for the semi-finals with a penalty. Barça go on to the face Liceo in the semi-finals.
