Real Betis vs Barcelona, Spanish Super Cup: Final Score 2-2 (2-4 pens), Marc-André Ter Stegen shines as Barça win on penalties, advance to Final

Barcelona are through to the Spanish Super Cup Final and will meet Real Madrid on Sunday for the title thanks to a 4-2 win on penalties after a 2-2 draw in extra-time against Real Betis on Thursday’s semi-final. A hard-fought, very open game saw loads of chances and very good goals from both teams, and after 120 minutes of fun it was all about Marc-André ter Stegen, who shined in the penalty shootout to send Barça through.

FIRST HALF

Barça made a good start to the half with complete control of possession and forcing Betis to defend deep inside their half, and despite having over 80% of the ball the Blaugrana had a good rhythm to their passing and tried moving the ball quickly to find spaces inside a tight structure from the opposition.
