Real Madrid set up a potential Copa Del Rey quarter-final against FC Barcelona after a 1-0
victory against Málaga earned the Whites a 4-2 aggregate win.
It was a tense night as Malaga only needed a 1-0 victory in order to advance on the away goals
rule. In a very tactical first half the best chance fell to Sergio Ramos, whose header right before
half-time just missed the target.
Real Madrid progressed to the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey after a 1-0 win over Malaga
courtesy of a goal by Karim Benzema. More accurately put a dreadful mistake by Malaga goalkeeper
Willy Caballero in the 72nd minute proved decisive after Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema fired a
timid shot which squirmed beneath Caballero [.
Disaster for Malaga's goalie as Karim Benzema's speculative shot results in the ball squeezing
past his arms and legs and trickles into goal. A case of the willies? It was actually the only
blemish in an otherwise fine performance by Willy Caballero to keep Real at bay.
The 1-0 victory in the second leg gave Real a winning aggregate of 4-2 advancing them to the
Copa Del Rey quarterfinals where they are almost sure to meet Barca, 4-0 winners against Osasuna in
their first leg.
