It looked like Athletic Bilbao would win 2-1 against Barcelona, but Pedri popped up to forcer extra-time. He scored in the 92nd minute to force extra-time.

Pedri Gonzalez saved Barcelona in second half stoppage time in the Copa del Rey. The Spaniard, when Athletic Bilbao were almost in the quarter-finals, drew level in added time. 

Inigo Martinez's goal looked like it would send the Basques into the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. However, there was then a scramble in Agirrezabala's box and Pedri made it 2-2. 

Dani Alves tried a sort of overhead kick which distracted all the defence. The Brazilian did not connect properly and the ball was loose in the Athletic Bilbao box.

Pedri popped up at the hit a powerful shot with his foot which beat goalkeeper Agirrezabala and forced extra-time.

In extra-time, Jordi Alba was penalised for handball after a VAR review and Iker Muniain made no mistake from the spot to put Athletic Bilbao 3-2 up in the 105th minute.
