Real Madrid welcomed Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier tonight as they focused on defending their 1-0 first-leg lead in the Copa del Rey. Carlo Ancelotti’s men made a slow start to the contest and conceded the opener in the 16th minute when Ander Barrenetxea scored for the visitors. However, Endrick equalised for Real Madrid at the half-hour mark as the two sides went into the half-time interval with a 1-1 scoreline.
Real Sociedad grabbed the lead once again in the 72nd minute when David Alaba scored an unfortunate own goal before Mikel Oyarzabal got his name on the scoresheet in the 80th minute. However, Real Madrid equalised soon after thanks to a goal each from Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni. Oyarzabal scored again for the visitors in injury-time which took the game to extra-time.
Antonio Rudiger ended up scoring the decisive goal for Los Blancos in the 115th minute as Ancelotti’s players earned a hard-fought 4-4 draw (5-4 win on aggregate).
