Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-0 and is in the final of the Spanish Cup. The first semifinal match on February 10 ended 2-0 for the Andalusianswho were very close to the trophy match.
The Catalans played a very strong first half at their Camp Nou stadium, in which they completely dominated their timid rival. Osman Dembele opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a very nice goal, and for half-time the guests were saved from new goals at their door.
Midway through the second half, the two teams exchanged a great pass. First Jordi Alba shook the crossbar, then Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved Lucas Ocampos’ penalty.
Sevilla could already be seen qualifying for the final when Gerard Piqué’s goal came seconds before the end in minute 94. The match went to extra time, and in them the red card for Fernando (92 minutes) would already have a great weight in terms of fatigue. Martin Brightwaite brought the classic victory with a goal in the 95th minute, and until the end the Blaugranas kept the victory calm.
Thus, in the final, Ronald Koeman’s former students await Athletic Bilbao or Levante, whose revenge is today after 1: 1 in the first match.
In the fifth minute, Barcelona was able to open the scoring after a lightning counterattack through the center, stretched from the left to Serginho Dest. He immediately focused on the ground in the penalty area, but Osman Dembélé stopped and was passed. Soon after, the Frenchman opted for a bomb shot, which turned out to be inaccurate.
Shortly after, Sergio Busquets fired an accurate shot that, however, was within the reach of goalkeeper Tomasz Vaclik. He kept up with Dembélé, but only won a corner after a rebound.
The logical thing happened in the 12th minute, when one of the most active in the field, Dembélé, scored a tremendously beautiful goal. this time the blade struck a projectile outside the penalty area with its right foot and the ball landed in the upper left corner.
Barcelona entered a new strong stage in which they put firm pressure on their rival. Half an hour had passed when Pedry finished dangerously over the goal, and then Marcos Akunya cleared the ball in front of the goal after a slalom by Leo Messi.
At the beginning of the second half, Sevilla were still passive, but in the Barcelona game the momentum of the first half was lost and nothing memorable happened in front of both doors.
It wasn’t until the middle of the second half that something interesting happened and what … Sevilla’s crossbar shook! Dembélé broke down the right and crossed smoothly, and Jordi Alba was deprived of centimeters in his spectacular performance to send the ball into the net.
Shortly after, Oscar Mingesa blocked the path of Lucas Ocampos, who entered as a reserve in the Barça penalty, and the referee pointed to the white spot. The victim stood behind the ball and struck in the lower left corner, but Mark-Andre ter Stegen saved!
Barça put pressure at the end and Messi had good chances twice. First he would do it inaccurately from an awkward position, and then he was blocked. In the 92nd minute, Sevilla were left with 10 people for Fernando’s red card.
The drama was completed in minute 94, when seconds before the end Gerard Piqué saved his team and took the game into extra time. The defender intercepted a cross from the left by Antoine Griezmann and scored with a header.
In the fifth minute of the first overtime, reserve Martin Brightway headed in, intercepting Jordi Alba’s center from the left.
Leo Messi unscrewed the opponent’s defense twice, but first it was blocked, and then it would be in the hands of the goalkeeper. In one of their rare actions, Sevilla had a penalty claim, but the game by Clement Lengle came after the ball hit the chest and the referee ignored the situation.
At the end of extra time, Sevilla seemed too listless and ideal, and furthermore, the fatigue in the guest ranks after the red card and Luke de Jong was palpable.
