BILBAO (SPAIN) – Athletic Bilbao beats Barcelona 4-2 after extra time and qualified for the final of the Copa del Rey. The home team took the lead with Guruzeta just over 30 seconds after kick-off. Barcelona reacts and turns the result around, thanks to Lewandowski (luckily) and Yamal. At the start of the second half Athletic found the equalizer with a perfect header from Sancet. The match is beautiful and fun: the hosts attack and put Barcelona’s defense in difficulty, Xavi’s men waste two sensational opportunities with Yamal. We go to extra timeInk Williams (just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations), gave Athletic the 3-2 goal at the end of the first half, while his brother Niko scored in the 120th minute with a splendid drill, the goal of the final 4-2.
