Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa del Rey last 16 first leg between Levante and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 8.30pm.

A defeat for the Copa del Rey holders, but the damage isn't as bad as it might have been. Levante will obviously be pleased to have won the first leg, but they really could have taken a commanding lead into next week's game to give them a chance of reaching the quarter finals.

FULL TIME: Levante 2-1 Barcelona

Is there one last chance left in this match for Barcelona to take a draw back to Camp Nou for next week's second leg? They want a corner kick, but the linesman gives a goal kick.

All of a sudden this Levante team, who looked very sure of themselves and confident on the ball just five minutes ago, are now lumping it down field and inviting pressure on themselves.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of th match.

There's an air of deflation about Levante at the moment after conceding that goal. They need to watch they don't allow Barcelona a second goal. They deserve to win this game.

Can Barcelona grab a second to really settle the nerves ahead of next week's second leg at Camp Nou? They hardly deserve it, but the Catalans are on top at the moment.

That's tough on Levante. There's no doubting that it was a penalty kick, with Coke certainly catching Denis, but the home side were so close to seeing out this win to nil.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Levante 2 Barcelona 1 (85 mins - Philippe Coutinho pen). A lifeline for Barcelona! They have an away goal to take into next week's second leg! Coutinho stepped up, his run-up was a stutter-step on, but he squeezes the shot underneath Fernandez in the Levante goal! Big goal for Barca!

PENALTY KICK TO BARCELONA! Coke has a nibble at the legs of Denis and the referee points to the spot.

One wonders if Levante might rue not scoring a third goal tonight if the scoreline stays 2-0 to take into next week's second leg. They have had the chances to take a really commanding lead.

Time is running out for Barcelona. If anything, Levante seem to be taking a tighter grip of things as the clock ticks towards full time. Very assured play from the home team.

Great chance! Jason is played the pass from the quick freekick, the cross to the back post is a wicked one, but Murillo was on hand to sweep the clearance behind for a corner kick.

This is good play from Levante. They are passing the ball around the midfield and forcing Barcelona to chase them. They look in control of things at the moment. Impressive.

The paradox for Barcelona and Valverde is that they have been told for a long time that they must rotate their squad more often. Well, that's what they did this evening...

Now Busquets enters the book and frustration is starting to bubble to the surface.

However, it must be said that Barcelona have looked a bit more solid at the back since Lenglet was introduced off the bench. The youngsters just weren't cutting it for them.

Barcelona have 15 minutes to give themselves a foothold in this match ahead of next week's second leg at Camp Nou. They are at least creating opportunities, but can they stop Levante from scoring a third?
