ATHLETIC BILBAO-REAL MADRID 1-0
Perfect revenge for Athletic Bilbao, which almost a month after the defeat in the Super Cup against Real Madrid beats the blancos 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Re and eliminates Carlo Ancelotti: second consecutive feat for the Basques after the 3- 2 in extra time against Barcelona in the round of 16. At the start of the match at San Mamés, Dani Garcia was unleashed, stopped by Courtois, while in the middle of the first half it was Muniain who touched the big target. Things seem to get complicated for the hosts even before the break, with Nico Williams forced to leave and replaced by Berenguer: it will be the move that will decide the match. After a potential penalty not assigned to the hosts for a touch of the hand by Nacho Fernandez and a great intervention by Agirrezabala on Casemiro, here is the goal that definitively directs the game: Bilbao press high with Vesga and serve Berenguer, who returns on the left and struck Courtois at the far post, driving San Mamés crazy with the goal of 1-0 in the 89th minute. The final forcing of the guests is useless: the Basques fly to the semifinals together with Betis, Valencia and Rayo Vallecano and are candidates for the final victory. Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid says goodbye to the first trophy of the season.
