And we're under way! It's Elche against Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey round of 16 second leg.

Elche come away on the counter attack! Herrera breaks in behind the Barca defence and tries to find his teammate Coro inside the box, but his sqaured pass is cut out before it reaches the forward.

Barcelona are getting a lot of joy down the wings tonight. That is where their biggest thrat has come from in this game. Elche need to get players out there and quickly to stem the flow of play.

Excellent work from Montoya down the right side sees the right-back get into the box and fizz a cross into the danger area. However, nobody in organe can make a connection with the pass.

That magnificent goal from Mathieu takes the aggregate scoreline to 6-0 and if the result was ever in any doubt, that will be enough to take Barcelona into the quarter-finals against Atletico.

That was outrageous from Mathieu. I half expected the cross to be played into the box, but the Frenchman just lashed that into the top corne from distance. Not even Messi can do that!

GOOOOOOAL! Elche 0 Barcelona 1 (21 mins - Jeremy Mathieu). What a strike from Mathieu! The French defender slams a freekick from the best part of 25 yards into the top corner. Wow, wow, wow!

That was a contentious decision by the referee. Traore is played through on goal, who has the pace on the Elche defender, but Edu brings him down cynically. The ref shows him a yellow card, when it could have been red.

YELLOW CARD: Edu Albacar (Elche)

Elche's pressing game has actually been quite impressive this far, but that is so often the case for teams coming up against Barcelona. The question is, for how long can they keep this up?

This has been a strange performance from Adriano so far. He looks restless and is rushing his passes, almost as if he's trying too hard to impress. He needs to relax into the contest.

If only that had come down quicker! Good play from Elche sees Pelegrin win a header at the far post, bringing Herrera into the play. But the ball won't fall quick enough and Bartra blocks his shot.

Gumbau is a slightly different kind of La Masia graduate. He's tall for starters, and is more of a physical presence in the centre of midfield. A different option for Enrique to have at his disposal.

The midfield three for Barcelona tonight provides a clear look to the future for the Catalans, with Rafiha, Gumbau and Roberto making up the trio in the centre of the pitch. Interesting.

Barcelona are controlling the contest thus far, with Munir and Traore both keen to impress on a rare start. But Elche are holding firm for the time being, with Pelegrin organising the backline.

Well that was ambitous from Adriano. Maybe the left-back is trying to make amends for his miss earlier, but he takes on a shot from 35 yards and puts his strike wide of the target.

The intensity from both sides has been good in these opening 10 minutes. There are plenty of players on the pitch who have a point to prove or an impression to make.

That was a clearcut opportunity for Barcelona to take the lead and Adriano should have found the net. He could have picked his spot anywhere across the Elche net, but snatched at the shot.

That was a big chance for Adriano! He was all the way up from his left-back position, but from 12 yards out the Brazilian manages to scuff his unchallenged shot wide of the target.

Of course, after the result at the Bernabeu earlier tonight Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid in the last eight of the Copa Del Rey, assuming no disastrous slip-ups this evening.
