Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa del Rey semi final first leg between Sevilla and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Kick off is at 20:00 GMT.

FULL TIME: Sevilla 2-0 Barcelona

Can Barcelona find a valuable away goal to give them hope for the second leg? The Catalans are pressing hard, but Sevilla are holding form. Time is running out for Barca.

Great chance for a third! That was a real opportunity for Sevilla to put this tie to bed, but de Jong decides not to shoot and then Torres has an effort blocked. Why didn't he take it on?

There will be three minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.

Bono makes the save! Messi directs a dangerous freekick on target, but the Sevilla goalkeeper is equal to it and makes the diving save. Bono has been brilliant for the hosts!

Such is the fixture congestion currently being experienced by all in Spanish and European football, Barcelona and Sevilla won’t actually play the second leg of this semi final until March 3.

It should be noted that Puig was introduced for Barca just moments before the goal.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Sevilla 2 (85 mins - Ivan Rakitic) Barcelona 0. It's a second goal for Sevilla and that could be a big moment in this Copa del Rey semi final tie! Rakitic is played in behind Umtiti and finds the back of the net with an excelent finish! The Croatian midfielder has scored against his former club!

And the fifth and final change from Sevilla sees Torres come on for Suso.

Another change for Sevilla as Gudelj comes on to replace Jordan.

Koeman has always claimed this season would be a transitional one for Barca and so it has proved. Now, though, he needs to start showing signs that the Catalans are progressing in the transition. There have been some signs, in fairness.

Still not a single change off the bench from Koeman. Barcelona are light on options, it must be said, but they could still use some fresh energy, surely? Still the same 11 players.

The game is getting a bit more frantic now. Sevilla are finding space on the counter attack while Barcelona are attempting to break down the hosts with crosses into the middle.

Penalty claim! Alba is fouled and he believes he should have a spot kick, but the referee says the contact started outside the box and gives the freekick to Barcelona instead.

And the third Sevilla change sees de Jong come on. En Nesyri has some ice strapped to his leg.

Munir is also on off the bench for Sevilla to face his former side.

Changes from Lopetegui here. Rekik is on for the final 20 minutes.
