With goals from Frenchman Ousmane Dembelé (63) and young Ferran Jutglà (69), Barça recovered from Hugo Díaz’s initial goal (19).
The first game for Brazilian Dani Alves on his return to Barcelona was very eventful for the Catalans, especially in the first half, when the modest Linares was very combative, getting ahead on the scoreboard thanks to a good header from Hugo Díaz ( 19).
But the fatigue that was accumulating in the legs of the local players and, above all, the departure after the break of three starters (Gerard Piqué, Frenkie de Jong and Ousmane Dembelé), allowed Barça to overcome the tie.
The French winger, who still does not respond to the renewal offer offered by the club, tied with a left foot from outside the area that surprised Ghanaian goalkeeper Brimah Razak (63).
That goal was a blow to the Andalusian team, which just a few minutes later found themselves below the scoreboard in the tie after a goal from the young Jutglà in a good personal move down the left that culminated in a cross shot hitting the post (69) .
However, and despite not having the strength of the first half, Linares did not give up and could have taken the game to extra time, but Carracedo’s shot crashed into the cross of the goal defended this Wednesday by the Brazilian Net.
Before that, the three First Division teams that opened fire on Wednesday’s Copa del Rey match, Real Sociedad, Mallorca and Valencia, qualified for the round of 16 of the cup tournament and join Espanyol, who achieved the pass on Tuesday.
However, and as had happened to Espanyol the day before, the three teams had to suffer against lower category rivals.
La Real, which has lost the strength it exhibited at the start of the season, beat Leganés 3-2, after the local team equalized two goals behind in the second half.
Despite the fact that in recent days his game and results have improved a lot, Valencia also had to suffer in Cartagena to end up winning 2-1 thanks to a goal from Russian Dimitri Cheryshev in discount (90 + 2).
And Mallorca had to come back 2-1 against an Eibar who went ahead just before the break with a goal from Gustavo Blanco.
Josep Gayá (67) and Ángel Rodríguez (81) turned the game around and the Balearic team qualified for the second round.
Betis, who endorsed Real Valladolid 3-0, and Rayo Vallecano, who won 1-0 against Mirandés, also made the pass.
