In the first match of the King’s Cup semifinals, Sevilla defeated Barcelona 2-0.
For the win, Jules Kounde (25 ‘) and Ivan Rakitic (85’) scored.
When Oliver Torres sent the ball to the former Croatian national team player, Barcelona’s defense attempted to make an offside but failed.
Rakitic went for Marc ter Stegen diagonally alone and regularly scored 2:0.0. This outcome took Sevilla one step closer to qualifying for the finals, and Barcelona will play the return match on March 3.
Athletic Bilbao and Levante will clash in the second semifinal. Tomorrow their first clash will be played, and the return is scheduled for 4 March.
