Blaugranes start well

A good start for Barça, quickly going ahead through Pau Bargalló (0-1, min 4) and a long shot by Ignacio Alabart (0-2, min 6) on a transition. Reus didn't let the setback affect them, though, a decent David Gelmà shot reducing the difference (1-2, min 10), with the scoreline remaining unchanged at half-time.

Reus went for it after the break and Marc Julià went close to equalising. However, just when the home side were pressing most, Pau Bargalló scored to extend the lead and quell their intent (1-3, min 38). Reus again attempted to redress the balance but to no avail, even more so when Pau Bargalló completed his hat-trick with a minute to go, final score 1-4.

So, Barça are through to next week's final and will have their eyes on another OK Liga trophy to add to their cabinet.
