Real Madrid have already won two trophies this season, and they will hope to add the Copa del Rey to their collection – and they are back in front, having previously let slip a two-goal lead in their quarter-final tie against Leganes.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side were under the cosh in the early stages, and they were almost behind after two minutes when Andriy Lunin made a big save. However, they bounced back well to break the deadlock at Butarque, with the opener coming from veteran midfielder Luka Modric. Not long after, Endrick Felipe made it 2-0 as he finished from close range after the ball broke his way inside the Leganes penalty area.
Real Madrid saw their advantage cut in half just before half time interval as Juan Cruz netted from the penalty spot, and the Leganes winger added his and his side’s second on the hour mark to equaliser. However, they are now behind again as Gonzalo Garcia Torres has netted in the final minutes, which what should be the winning goal.
