Iker Muniain scored twice for Bilbao including a goal in extra time which knocked Barcelona out in the round of 16 stages. Barcelona were always playing catch-up in the game as they fell behind twice but always managed to find the equalizer as they finished 90 mins at 2-2 with a late 93rd min goal from Gonzalez Lopez.

With the match going into extra time, Bilbao pressed hard for a winner and eventually got one from the boots of Iker Muniain who calmly slotted in a penalty to help his side pull off a big upset with a 3-2 scoreline.
