Barcelona have secured qualification for the next round of the Copa del Rey after defeating Racing Santander.

The Catalans recorded a 0–2 victory, dominating most of the match, although they struggled to convert their superiority into more goals.

Early in the game, Barcelona created chances through Dani Olmo and Marcus Rashford, but neither managed to capitalize on their opportunities.

The hosts also had a clear chance through Guliashvili, whose effort went over the crossbar.

The hero of the night for Barcelona was Ferran Torres, who found the net in the 66th minute after an assist from Fermín López.

Racing Santander appeared to spring a surprise by scoring twice through Manex Lozano, but both goals were ruled out for offside.

Deep into stoppage time, Lamine Yamal sealed the victory with a goal in the 90+5th minute.

As a result, Barcelona advance in the Copa del Rey, unlike Real Madrid, who failed to do so.
