Pablo Sarabia and Wissam Ben Yedder scored second-half goals as Sevilla beat Barcelona 2-0 in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarter-final.

Axar.az reports that, midfielder Sarabia gave Sevilla a deserved lead just before the hour and French striker Ben Yedder struck a crucial second with 14 minutes left.

Barca boss Ernesto Valverde handed Kevin-Prince Boateng his debut following his surprise loan move from Italian side Sassuolo on Monday and made six other changes.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho were among those rested by Valverde, but his side still dominated early possession.

Sevilla then got the goal they deserved in the 58th minute. Quincy Promes delivered the cross and Sarabia fired beyond Cillessen into the bottom corner.

Andre Silva prompted a swift counter-attack and when Ever Banega’s shot was deflected into Ben Yedder’s path, the striker tapped calmly home.

Barca hogged possession again in the closing stages but created few openings and with new signing Boateng having no impact up front, Sevilla held on to their two-goal advantage.
