Bojan strike gives Barcelona a slender win

Barcelona earned only a slender lead from the first leg of their Copa del Rey encounter with third tier Benidorm after Bojan Krkic netted the only goal of the game. The Blaugrana are clear favourites to progress to the last 16 with the second game still to come in Camp Nou, but they had to survive the odd scare from the home team. Coach Pep Guardiola named a relatively strong side that included a back line of Dani Alves, Eric Abidal, Gerard Pique and Martin Caceres while Aliaksandr Hleb and Bojan also started.
