fraser54 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Getafe produced a stunning performance to beat Barcelona 4-0 to progress to the Copa del Rey final 6-5 on aggregate. Bernd Schuster's side faced an uphill battle to reach the final after their 5-2 defeat at Camp Nou in the first leg, but they conjured up a memorable performance to end Barcelona's dreams of the league and cup double. Getafe broke the deadlock on 37 minutes when Francisco Javier Casquero volleyed home from the edge of the box. The home side grabbed a second goal two minutes from time when a mistake by Gianluca Zambrotta allowed Dani Guiza to score. Angel Vivar Dorado added a third on 70 minutes when he headed home from close-range. Getafe went in front in the tie with a fourth goal on 73 minutes when Guiza raced through to rifle home. Barcelona threw everything into attack in the closing stages in a bid to get back into the game, but Samuel Eto'o wasted a glorious opening and Javier Saviola had a shot kicked off the line as Getafe held on for a remarkable result. Getafe will face La Liga and Uefa Cup hopefuls Sevilla in the final which will be their first ever appearance in the final. No one seen that coming, everyone thought Barca were already in the final 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I don't think the big Spanish clubs take the Copa del Rey seriously. Obviously they'd like to win it but their main aim is the league and the CL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 That was a shock, not like they had out a reserve team either. Takes the shine off Messi's awesome goal in the first leg a bit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
