He was played towards goal from the start but casually tipped his effort wide of goal in a careless attempt. Rashford played a key role in Lamine Yamal’s first goal when his run found Frenkie de Jong, who eventually laid the ball away for the Spaniard to slot into the net from distance.
In the second half, he almost set up Dani Olmo after running down the left wing, but Olmo’s resulting shot was well blocked by the Albacete defence. Rashford finally got his reward when Ronald Araujo headed his fierce corner inside.
He had two key passes in the game but could only connect one of his seven cross attempts. The 28-year-old also completed 100% of his dribble attempts and tackles in a productive match to advance to the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
