Sevilla vs Barcelona, Copa del Rey: Final Score 2-0, Exhausted Barça struggle for 90 minutes, lose first leg

Barcelona had a bad night in the office on Wednesday in Seville and have a tough deficit to overcome in the Copa del Rey semi-final thanks to a 2-0 loss to Sevilla in the first leg. Barça struggled to attack for 90 minutes and Sevilla had very little trouble staying compact at the back and scoring in key moments to win at home and open up a solid gap ahead of the second leg.

FIRST HALF

The first half had a slower pace than the last few matches we’ve seen Barça play lately, and both teams looked more interested in stopping each other to avoid conceding a silly early goal.
