Barcelona overcame lowly Intercity 4-3 after extra time in the Copa del Rey, with Ansu Fati's goal preventing an embarrassing result for the Camp Nou club.

A corner was swung in and was headed back across goal where Oriol Soldevila was waiting to lash it into the bottom corner, sparking wild celebrations in the stands. The corner was swung in from the right and the Uruguayan defender reacted fastest to force a powerful header into the back of the net.
