Summary of Barcelona's 0:1 victory over Real Sociedad in the King's Cup quarterfinals (Sport1)
The 19th round of the Spanish league kicked off last night (Friday) with Almeria's 1:3 win over Espanyol and will continue today with four more games, with the focus of Barcelona's visit to a Catalan derby at Girona.

Girona - Barcelona
Barcelona's only stumble since returning from the World Cup break was in the derby against Barcelona, and now Xavi and his players will hope not to lose precious points in the league in another derby, this time away to Girona.
If Barcelona continues the momentum and registers a seventh victory in a row in all the frameworks, it will at least for 24 hours increase the gap at the top to six points from Real Madrid.
The strikers Robert Lewandowski and Fran Torres are still not returning to the men's squad for the bans they received and attacks only in the league, so Anso Fati was once again placed on the sidelines.
Pedri, who was injured in the victory over Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the cup on the fourth, is only on the bench and in the link Frankie de Jong with Gabi and Sergio Busquets.
Girona is missing the exiled Santiago Bueno.

61st minute: Goal, 0:1 to Barcelona!
A typical team move released Jordi Alba, the left back who came off the bench delivered the cross and a light touch from the goalkeeper Gasaniga did not prevent Pedri from pushing in.
They still haven't won twice in a row this season in the league.

Sevilla - Elche (Saturday, 19:30)
Sevilla won their last two home games and managed to escape from the red line, and if they also beat Elche then for the first time this season they will win two consecutive games in "La Liga".
The Andalusians were eliminated from the cup this week in the quarter-finals following a loss to Ossuna and against Alca they will miss Erik Lamela who received a yellow card in last week's win over Cadiz, but will get back Marcos Acuna who served a suspension in the previous round.
Alecha, the leader of the table who scored only 6 points this season, surprised when she squeezed out two draws against Cadiz and Ossuna.
