Valencia vs. Barcelona: 2016 Copa del Rey Semi-Final, Leg 2 Score and Reaction

Valencia surrendered a lead to Barcelona with only six minutes on the clock at the Mestalla Stadium as the teams drew 1-1 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, with Barca winning 8-1 on aggregate on Wednesday.

A goal from Alvaro Negredo broke the deadlock for Los Che shortly before the interval, but a late strike by teenager Wilfrid Kaptoum saved the Blaugrana on the night.

The contest was an awful spectacle as fans stayed away in droves. Valencia coach Gary Neville's tenure continues to fester as he searches for his first victory in charge.
