King’s Cup quarter final

Bilbao (Spain): FC Barcelona took another important step in their King’s Cup title defence, winning the first leg of their quarter-final 2-1 against Athletic Club Bilbao in an away match.
The Basque side pressured Barcelona from the start and for the first 15 minutes the Cup holders were on the back foot until they scored with virtually their first attack of the game on Wednesday.
Ivan Rakitic found space down the right to swing over a low cross that allowed Munir to score from eight yards out.
Munir justified his place in the side and midway through the half Neymar also got on the scoresheet as Athletic keeper Iago Herrerin made a mess of a clearance and allowed him to slip the ball into an empty net.
In the other quarter-final first leg match played on Wednesday, Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 in Vigo. (IANS)
