Copa del Rey: Real Madrid Edge Past Leganes, Garcia's Late Header Secures Semi-Final Spot바카라 웹사이트

Real Madrid survived a late scare to book their place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, edging past Leganes 3-2 in a thrilling quarter-final clash. Luka Modric and Endrick gave the visitors an early two-goal cushion, but Leganes fought back with two goals from Juan Cruz to level the score. Extra time beckoned, and substitute Brahim Diaz provided a pinpoint cross to the near post, where 20-year-old Gonzalo Garcia rose above the defense to head home the decisive goal in the third minute of stoppage time, ensuring Real Madrid's passage and a semi-final that promises to be one of the toughest against either Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Real Sociedad, or Valencia.
