Christensen and Rashford Secure Barcelona's Hard-Fought Copa del Rey Victory

Barcelona triumphed over third-division Guadalajara 2-0 in a delayed Copa del Rey match, thanks to late goals by Andreas Christensen and Marcus Rashford. The game, disrupted by stadium issues, saw Barcelona dominate but struggle to score until the final moments against their resilient opponents.

Barcelona emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over third-division side Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey's round of 32 on Tuesday, with goals from Andreas Christensen and Marcus Rashford.

The match, held at Pedro Escartín stadium, faced a 30-minute delay due to local authorities initially restricting fan access to a newly built grandstand.

Despite dominating the game, Barcelona found it challenging to break through until Christensen's header in the 76th minute and Rashford's late breakaway goal secured their triumph.
