Copa del Rey: Barcelona advances with a win over Getafe

In the 19th minute Angel Lafita lifted a ball into the Barca box that was flicked on by Sarabia to Juan Rodríguez at the far post. His volleyed shot was blocked by José Manuel Pinto who’d managed to get back across the goal to make the save.

Neymar was forced out the match in the 28th minute after an ugly non-contact injury near the touchline. The Brazilian rolled his right ankle rather severely and was helped off the field by team physios, barely able to put any weight on his leg.

For those of you counting at home, that’s three defenders he beats without breaking a sweat. And then there’s the goalkeeper -- the poor, helpless goalkeeper.

Note: I would love to know how much Carlos Vigaray paid for his ticket to watch from right there at the bottom of the screen. However much it wasn’t enough. He has the best seat in the house.

It appeared that his ankle gave out as he planted to make a turn towards goal and caused his knee to buckle as well. Neymar went down immediately and was in obvious pain as teammates surrounded him. After several minutes on the ground behind the touchline being looked at by physios, Neymar attempted to get back up but immediately had to go back to the ground, unable to put weight on the leg.

He was walked off the pitch with the help of two physios with his shoe and sock removed, only putting minor weight on the ankle.
