Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa Del Rey semi-final first leg between Barcelona and Villarreal. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens at the Camp Nou. Kick-off: 19:00.

FULL TIME: Barcelona 3-1 Villarreal

That wasn't far away at all! Suarez sees Asenjo off his line and tries to lob the goalkeeer from the best part of 45 yards, but his effort bounces just past the post. Premier League fans, where have we seen that before?

Four minutes of stoppage time to be played.

The away side have upped their pressing game in the last few minutes, but they can't get the ball off Iniesta, with the Barcelona midfielder winning a freekick under pressure not far from his own goal.

Villarreal have had a few chances in this second half to give themselves something to hang on to in the second leg. Marcelino will regret that they haven't been able to take them.

It looks like Gaspar is going to have to come off here, with Villarreal already used all their changes. This will reduce Marcelino's side to 10 men for the final few minutes of this game.

YELLOW CARD: Luis Suarez (Barcelona)

Ter Stegen is called upon to make a save! The cross comes in from the left wing, with Giovani getting his head to it. But he was back tracking and his header is rather tame for the goalkeeper to catch.

Suarez looks for the run of Neymar down the left side, but the pass is cut out before it can reach the Brazilian striker, who is trying to make amends for that penalty miss 15 minutes ago.

That was another chance for the away side to find a second goal to take into the return leg. But Mathieu throws himself in front of Gomez's shot to make the block with his back!

That was a huge opportunity for Villarreal to get themselves back into this tie! The Barcelona defence drops off and Giovani has a free header from six yards. But he puts his effort wide.

Apologies for the delay in getting updates to you. Technical issues on our end, which definitely doesn't mean that I forgot to switch my charger on, and my laptop dies. Definitely not.

The award of the penalty kick looked to be a harsh one anyway. The ball certainly hit the hand of Musacchio in the box, but he had his arm tucked into his body. He couldn't do much about it.

Villarreal sub: Denis Cheryshev OFF, Moi Gomez ON.

PENALTY KICK SAVED! Messi passes the spot kick to Neymar, who sees his effort from 12 yards saved by Asenjo, who guessed the right way. Why didn't Messi hit it? Poor pen from Neymar.

YELLOW CARDS: Victor Ruiz and Mateo Musacchio (Villarreal)

PENALTY KICK TO BARCELONA! Ruiz is penalised for a hand ball inside the penalty area.

However, the dynamic of this match could change completely with another Villarreal goal. That's what happens when you have a two legged Copa fixture. This won't be concluded for another three weeks.

Barcelona sub: Rafinha OFF, Ivan Rakitic ON.
