Ibiza is known for many things. Its soccer aptitude is not high up on the list. Yet the Spanish island found its third-tier club leading one of the world's powerhouse clubs in their David vs. Goliath Copa del Rey showdown on Wednesday.

Ibiza took a ninth-minute lead on Barcelona in their third-round meeting at the Estadio Municipal de Can Misses. A deflection off Pep Caballe redirected Javi Perez's shot from the center of the box to beat Neto on the bouncy surface, sparking celebrations in the expanded stands, with locals hoping for the upset to top all upsets.
