Alba pings a delightful ball to Coutinho on the right, who twists and turns but can't escape his marker and his cross is blocked behind for a corner. That should be the last action of the game.

44'
MISS! Arambarri drags a speculative effort well wide of the target as he looks to find an equaliser before half-time.

Rodriguez read the cross well and showed great determination to reach it and divert it towards Mata for the simplest of tap-ins!
GOAL!! GETAFE PULL ONE BACK! Mata scrambles home from Rodriguez's square ball across the face of goal from a deep left-wing cross that wasn't dealt with! The hosts are back in the game at 2-1!
42'
CHANCE! Barcelona put together a lovely, flowing move that sees Dembele play a one-two with Messi, but he goes down too softly for the referee's liking as he chased the return pass.
39'
L. Suárez has scored a goal for Barcelona!
GOAL!!! LUIS SUAREZ DOUBLES BARCELONA'S LEAD! WHAT A STRIKE! A free-kick is floated in and half-cleared to the edge of the box, but only as far as the Uruguayan, who strikes the ball sweetly on the volley, arrowing it into the corner despite Soria getting fingertips to it!
36'
A series of fouls from both sides break up the rhythm of the game, which Getafe will be more than happy with.
34'
The hosts get forward down the right and cross into the box, but Ter Stegen comes out and claims assertively.

15'
Jordi Alba gets yellow.
D. Foulquier gets yellow.
Alba quickly follows his team-mate into the book with a rash challenge on Foulquier in a dangerous position for the hosts.
Foulquier picks up the third booking of the game for dissent. It's been an ill-tempered few minutes.
12'
Arthur gets yellow.
Arthur catches Rodriguez in the face with an elbow and he's very lucky that the referee brandishes a yellow card at him rather than a red. The Getafe players are furious - they think he should be off.
11'
Getafe are defending in a compact, narrow shape, but they are counter-attacking with great pace and purpose when they win it back.
7'
OFFSIDE! Messi is just a fraction offside as he races onto Dembele's throughball on the left and fires a low shot at goal. He was just half a step off there.
6'
MISS! Rodriguez has the first shot of the game as Getafe surge forward but he balloons it high over the bar!
5'
NO PENALTY! Dembele goes down under pressure as Barcelona get the ball into the box with purpose for the first time, but the referee waves play on.

We're underway at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez!

Getafe have defended stoutly for the most part but seemed to lose confidence after being pegged back on 20 minutes. The game looked to be fully in Barcelona's control at 2-0 but the hosts' late goal will perhaps give them heart ahead of the second period.
And there goes the half-time whistle! Getafe started strongly but a classy Messi goal and a ferocious Luis Suarez volley gave the league leaders a two-goal advantage after 39 minutes. However, Mata tapped a lifeline in as Rodriguez squared across the face of goal with Ter Stegen in no-man's land!
Barcelona visit Levante and Getafe host Valladolid next in their Copa del Rey Round of 16 first legs.
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the match. Thank you for joining our coverage, until next time, goodbye!
