5 – 0
Did it deliver?
A top-two side with strong form facing lower opposition in cup competition delivered exactly as billed, with Prat's class showing early and often in a comfortable five-goal statement win.
Prat wasted no time asserting their superiority, scoring three times inside the opening 19 minutes to effectively end the tie before half-time. Adrian Rivas, Jordi Buyreu and Keonwoo Kim combined for a devastating opening burst that left San Rafael chasing shadows from the outset. The second half was more a formality than a contest, with Alejandro Archs and David Adan adding further goals to complete a five-star display without reply. For Prat, sitting second in their league with form behind them, this is the kind of ruthless cup performance that builds momentum heading into bigger tests, while San Rafael will need to regroup quickly after being thoroughly outclassed on every front.
