Barcelona B beaten on penalties after epic shootout

Barcelona B’s promotion hopes are over after being beaten on penalties in an epic shootout against UCAM Murcia on Sunday. The game ended 2-2 after extra-time which meant penalties with Murcia going on to win 5-4 to progress to the final.

Coach Garcia Pimienta was able to name Oscar Mingueza in his starting XI for the match after the defender agreed to drop down from the first team to play in the crucial game. However, Barca B were without Jandro Orellana who dropped down to the bench because of a muscular problem.

Barcelona got off to a fine start and thought they had opened the scoring after three minutes when Konrad de la Fuente had the ball in the net but it was harshly ruled out.
