SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - Sevilla produced a brilliant second-half display to beat Barcelona 2-0 in their Copa del Rey quarter-final, first leg on Wednesday, leaving the holders with an uphill task to reach the last four.

After an even first 45 minutes, strikes from Pablo Sarabia and Wissam Ben Yedder stunned the Catalans and left them needing a second-leg comeback at the Nou Camp for the second consecutive round in the competition.
