Oihan Sancet tied the match with a header in the first minutes of the second half. In the first half, Guruzeta put the hosts ahead with a goal in the first minute of play, but the visitors had turned the score around with goals from Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. Athletic and Barça are competing in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, a phase that began yesterday with Real Sociedad’s victory over Celta de Vigo. The last time both teams met in this tournament, the red and white team eliminated the Blaugrana, already led by Xavi Hernández, in the round of 16 of the 2021/2022 edition of the competition.
