    GOOOOOOOAL! Elche 0 Barcelona 4 (92 mins - Adriano). The left back has been desperate for a goal all night, and Adriano heads into the bottom corner from Douglas' cross.

    Atletico Madrid are waiting for Barcelona in the next round of the Copa, and they will pose much more of a challenge than Elche have tonight. They really posed no threat this evening.

    Two minutes of stoppage time to be played.
    89'
    The Barcelona goalkeeper redeems himself, making a double save from Herrera and Fragapane to prevent Elche from grabbing a consolation goal. What a spoil sport.
    88'
    Ter Stegen's passing and general outfield play has been very good tonight, but that's his poorest pass of the night. He pings one straight out of play when a simple pass would have done.
    87'
    This game has turned pretty scrappy in the last 10 minutes or so. Both sides are struggling to get the ball down on the ground, with rebounds and deflections aplenty. Not great to watch.
    86'
    That was wild from Bartra! The centre back surges through the middle of the pitch and gets to the edge of the Elche box, but shows little composure when he needs to and blasts well over.

    Herrera has yet to find the net this season and you can see a lack of confidence in his game. He has a few nice touches, but is too slow and sloppy in getting his shot away on goal.
    82'
    Barcelona will have more of a task on their hands in the next round of the Copa Del Rey. After the result at the Bernabeu earlier tonight Enrique's men will face Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals.
    81'
    The performance of Munir will be one disappointment for Enrique from tonight. The striker just looks so low in confidence at the moment. He needs a goal to rediscover his early season form.
    80'
    Elche are actually enjoying a decent spell of possessio here, with Barcelona standing of the home side as they play the ball around the midfield. Not that they are posing much of a threat, however.
    79'
    Halilovic looks a bit light weight in the number 10 role. He's still a teenager and is clearly very talented, but is too quick to be pushed off the ball by an opponent. That will come with development though.
    78'
    Pedro goes a bit more direct to get a shot away at goal, with Manu making a meal of the shot from the Barcelona attacker, but there isn't a player in orange on hand to stick away the rebound.
    76'
    After an impressive first half, Barcelona have certainly played well within themselves in this second half. They have passed out this game without exerting themselves too much, which will please Enrique.
    75'
    Now Munir has a shot at goal from 25 yards, getting decent whip and pace on his strike, but Manu in the Elche goal performs the relatively simple task of catching a shot straight at him.
    74'
    There really are similarities between Ter Stegen and Neuer. This time he comes out to the edge of the box to take a cross on his chest and play a pass out to a Barcelona midfielder.

    Peral has been the most impressive Elche player on the pitch tonight. Against the likes of Munir and Rafinha he has stood up well, showing good defensive and attacking qualities.
