Neymar scored the only goal of the game as Barcelona earned a 1-0 first-leg lead over Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.
The Brazilian scored from the spot 21 minutes in after being brought down by Aritz Elustondo - a rare talking point in a much devoid of too much entertainment.
Neymar was also responsible for the only other shot on target all evening, as he tested Geronimo Rulli with a tame attempt down the middle shortly before his decisive breakthrough goal.

Luis Enrique: "Against Sociedad we have had games in which they have been the better side, we want to change that image. We always go into matches with the objective of winning, to be better than our opponents and create more over 90 minutes, regardless of whether there is a second leg. Nothing changes in the way we prepare for a game because it is always the same - regardless of whether we have to play a second leg or not."
Xabi Prieto: "Having 52 hours less rest than them obviously hurts us, and our bodies will definitely feel that. The difference isn't just one day, but more than two, but we'll try to overcome our fatigue with Estadio Anoeta's support. On my block, some won't be able to do both, which is a shame. We have great memories of recent matches against Barcelona at Estadio Anoeta, and we're hoping for one more."
