Leganés 1-4 Barça: Last 16 bound

Tino Pérez' side go through to the next round of the Copa del Rey after an away win at Leganés, goals by Erick (2), Fits and Matheus

It's on to the next round for the Barça futsal team in their quest to retain their Copa del Rey trophy. Tino Pérez' side have beaten Leganés in the last 32 knockout game away at the Pabellón Deportivo Europa de Leganés. This could have been a tricky game, but Fits, Erick (2) and Matheus scored the goals that keep Barça on a winning run.

Despite the difference in level, Barça were very focused, resolute, and effective, quickly setting the game on the road to an away win. First it was Fits with a header from a De La Faya rebound after Touré shot (0-1, min 2), before Erick made the most of a Martel kick-in to extend the lead (0-2, min 7).

Matheus added to the score after the restart, finishing a Catela assist (0-3, min 24). Charly may then have reduced the difference with a superb back heel (1-3, min 28), inspiring Leganés to attack with five, but Erick stepped up to seal the win (1-4, min 39) and qualification for the last 16. The next opponent will be revealed during the draw in the second week of December.
