KATHMANDU: Real Madrid edged past Real Sociedad 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal on Wednesday, thanks to a crucial goal from Endrick.
The breakthrough came in the 19th minute when Jude Bellingham delivered a brilliant pass, which Endrick expertly finished.
This marked his fourth goal in the Copa del Rey this season, continuing his impressive form in the tournament.
Despite several chances to extend their lead, Real Madrid, led by captain Vinícius Júnior, failed to convert additional opportunities.
However, the victory was marred by an injury setback as Dani Ceballos left the pitch in tears after sustaining an injury, potentially impacting the team in this crucial phase of the season.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side now shifts focus to upcoming challenges, including a Champions League quarterfinal clash against Atlético Madrid and four La Liga fixtures.
The second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal is set for early April.
