In the second half extra time, FC Barcelona, with Gerard Piqué’s theatrical goal and Martin Bracewait’s overtime scoring, defeated Seville, the’random’ who had been defeated by a penalty kick, and advanced to the Spanish Copa del Rey (Kings’ Cup) final.
Barcelona won a 3-0 victory in the 2nd leg of the 2020-2021 King’s Cup semi-final against Seville held in Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain on the 4th (Korean time), and held a ticket to the final with a total of 3-2 in the 1st and 2nd leg.
Accordingly, Barcelona will challenge the winners of Bilbao-Levante and win the 31st King’s Cup in the final on April 17 local time.
It was literally a dramatic final.
Barcelona, which lost 0-2 in the first leg of the quarter-finals with Seville, opened the opening of a big reversal in the 12th minute when Uzman Dembele scored the winning goal with a powerful right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area.
After finishing 1-0 in the first half, Barcelona faced a crisis in the 26th minute when defender Oscar Minguesa knocked over Sevilla’s Lucas Ocampos in the 26th minute, allowing a penalty kick.
However, Barcelona goalkeeper Mark Andre Terre Stegen blew up Ocampos’ right footed shot as Seville’s penalty kicker.
Barcelona, which needed one more goal to drive the game into overtime, finally scored the awaited’theatrical goal’, and the protagonist was Pique.
Antoine Griezmann crosses from the left flank of the penalty area with 1 minute left to the end of the extra time in the second half, given 5 minutes, and Piqué soared in front of the goal area and scored with a heading.
For Seville, Ocampos’s loss of penalty was even more disappointing.
Barcelona drove into a dramatic overtime match, and in the 5th minute of the first half, Jordi Alba made a cross near the left edge of the penalty area, and Braceweight rushed to the front of the goal, scoring the wedge with a diving header.
Seville was sent off due to a cumulative warning in the second half of the extra time, and in the 13th minute overtime, Luke Theyong received a red card, and at the end of the game, nine players took on the bad news against Barcelona, and collapsed on their own.
