In the match of the 1/16 finals of the Spanish Cup, Barcelona was away from Deportivo Guadalajara, one of the outsiders of the third division. Despite the huge difference in class, the hosts managed to impose serious resistance on the favorite and kept the intrigue almost until the end of the match.

The first half was under the complete control of Barcelona, ​​who possessed the ball and regularly threatened the opponent’s goal. However, Guadalajara was saved more than once by goalkeeper Dani Vicente, as well as selfless defensive play, thanks to which the score was not opened before the break.

After the break, the Catalans continued to press and eventually got their way in the 77th minute when Andreas Christensen latched onto Frankie de Jong’s pass to give Barcelona the lead. Finally, the question about the winner was removed by Marcus Rashford, who took advantage of Lamin Yamal’s assist in stoppage time and established the final score.

A 2-0 win saw Barcelona comfortably through to the last 16 of the Copa del Rey, while Deportivo Guadalajara leave the tournament with their heads held high after a decent performance against the La Liga leaders.
