Sergio Gonzalez shows the way

Peñíscola appeared to have equalised but it was ruled out due to a refereeing error. However, they weren't to be denied for long either, Juanqui getting the equaliser after 14 minutes. Half time score 1-1.

Lead taken twice but out in the final minute

Sergio Gonzalez scored again after the restart, ending a good counterattack by Erick and Coelho at the far post (1-2, min. 23). Aware of the one-legged nature of the game, Peñíscola upped the tempo and go their equaliser wen Coelho scored an own goal after a Diego Sancho shot (2-2, min. 30)

Back came Barça, though, skipper Lozano making it 2-3 at a vital time in the game (min. 34), with victory in sight. However, there was still more drama as Juanqui scored twice in 30 seconds of the final minute to complete his hattrick to leave Barça without a chance to respond or to progress further in the Copa del Rey.
