It’s 3-1 Barcelona and probably game over in this Copa Del Rey tie.
Unionistas Salamanca put up a great fight and took the lead, but in the end Barcelona’s strong side has made the difference. Alejandro Balde has added his side’s third from left back.
It was pure top tier physicality that did it – he was too quick and strong for the lower league side, tearing straight through them and finishing nicely across the goal.
It’s not been an entirely convincing performance, but Barca have done what they needed to here.

⚽️ ¡¡GOOOOOOOL!! ¡¡CHICHAAAARRO DE BALDE!!
Él la recogió en la banda, él se fue de todos y él definió al primer palo. Vaya fantasía de gol.
