An injury-time header from Clement Lenglet gave Barcelona a 1-0 win over Cultural Leonesa in the first leg of their Copa del Rey last-32 tie on Wednesday.
Match Events
91'GOAL! Cultural Leonesa 0-1 Barcelona (Lenglet)
Barcelona have surely won it late on! Dembele's cross into the box is brilliantly placed and finds Lenglet, who gets free of his marker and sends a glancing header into the back of the net. Heartbreak for Leonesa!
Match Report
The best chance of a poor first half fell to Zelu, who was denied by Jasper Cillessen after Nelson Semedo was dispossessed near his own penalty area.
Barca were then dealt a blow when Sergi Samper, so unlucky with injuries over the past two years, was left in tears on the touchline after being forced off with a calf problem.
Cillessen made a fine one-handed stop to keep out Saul Gonzalez's rasping drive and deny Cultural a famous win, and Barca grabbed a goal in the dying minutes with their only clear-cut chance of the match, Lenglet heading past Jorge Palatsi as Dembele got his dead-ball delivery right.

Uninspiring performance, we were lucky to get away with a win. However, the amount of users here constantly trashing our players in match threads is getting ridiculous. Calling Malcom and Dembélé "trash" without even considering the fact they need time to gel is just stupid. If you consider yourself a fan, no matter of which club, you support your players as long as you can see they are at least trying. You don't turn on them after one bad game.

I am truly starting to fall in love with this new Barca faces.. Lenglet he is all over the place and wins most of the aerial balls easily and I know he was gonna score a header from his attempts in previous matches and today he proved it and too at the extra time😍😍.. Arthur, he is already a legend in Barca dembele, woaaahhh what a pass. straight to lenglet to make a perfect header.. to people who says he is a failed transfer, please let him grow., he has already scored a few amazing goals and have made a glorious passes.. just a few more playing time and he should be good Vidal, pure power and we expect to see more from him . Visca Barca
