Seville is close to climbing to the final match of the Copa del Rey, after its precious 2-0 victory over Barcelona on Wednesday in the first leg of the semi-final of the competition.

Jules Conde opened the scoring for Seville in the 25th minute, before Ivan Rakitic - the former Barcelona player - added the second goal for the Andalusian team in the 86th minute.

Barcelona must win by 3 goals in the rematch that will be held at its Camp Nou stadium on March 3, if it wants to climb to the final.

On the other hand, the task of Seville will be easier and a draw will suffice him to reach the final match, and meet the winner of the other semi-final confrontation between Levante and Athletic Bilbao.
