Ter Stegen bails out Mingueza by saving Ocampos' penalty

Barca were 1-0 up against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey semi.-final second leg. Koeman's men went ahead with a stunning Dembele goal, but they still needed another goal to force extra-time and more than 70 minutes had gone. 

But their hopes seemed to go up in smoke when Mingueza conceded a penalty. The Barca defender brought down Ocampos in the area. 

The referee made no hesitation and he pointed to the spot. The Sevilla fans were delighted as a goal meant Barca would have needed three more goals to get into the final. 

But Ter Stegen made a save to deny Ocampos. The penalty was in the middle and hit only slightly to the right of the Barca keeper. It was a huge setback for Sevilla and relief for Mingueza.
