Madrid, Jan. 16 -- FC Barcelona advanced into the quarterfinal of the Copa del Rey with a 2-0 win away to second division leader Racing Santander on Thursday night.
Racing defended deep in the first half, and a Barcelona side that started without Pedri, Raphinha, or Robert Lewandowski was unable to trouble home goalkeeper Jokin Ezkieta.
Ferran Torres scored the opener on 65 minutes after an excellent pass from Fermin Lopez, and Ezkieta made two excellent saves to keep the score down in the closing minutes.
Racing was close to an equalizer, with young loanee Manex Lozano seeing two efforts ruled out for offside, and another shot saved by Joan Garcia in the final minutes.
Lamine Yamal scored Barcelona's second in the last minute to finish...
