On Thursday evening in Spain, two second leg matches of the King's Cup quarter-finals were played. The first meeting took place at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, where Madrid's "Real" club, coached by Carlo Ancelotti, tried to rehabilitate themselves after the first defeat against "Atletico." However, Ancelotti's team failed to surpass the "Rojiblancos" footballers and the match ended in a draw, favorable to the Spanish champions. The first half started very unsuccessfully for the "white team," who knew before the match that a missed goal could cost them a ticket to the next stage. In the 1st minute of the match, Antoine Griezmann outsmarted Pepe and made a pass to the penalty area, where Fernando Torres directed the ball into the goal with one touch. After the quick goal, "Real" did not panic and actively pressed the opponents, who paid a lot of attention to defense. However, in the 20th minute, Sergio Ramos scored a header after a corner kick by Toni Kroos, reviving the intrigue of the match. During the remaining time, there were no shortage of dangerous episodes near the "Atletico" goal, but the hosts failed to score another goal that would give them more hope. The next 45 minutes were almost identical - in the 46th minute, the same F. Torres once again put "Rojiblancos" ahead, embedding Pepe in the penalty area and beating Keylor Navas in the goal. In the 54th minute, the score became even again when Cristiano Ronaldo scored after a pass from Gareth Bale. However, "Atletico" started to show better play and when the referee's final whistle was blown, the result on the scoreboard showed 2-2. It turned out that with an aggregate score of 4-2, Diego Simeone's pupils made it to the quarter-finals, where they will face the "Barcelona" footballers in the next stage. Results: "Real Madrid" 2 - 2 "Atletico Madrid" (First match: 0-2, final result: 2-4) 1' [0 - 1] F.Torres 20' [1 - 1] S.Ramos 46' [1 - 2] F.Torres 54' [2 - 2] C.Ronaldo "Elche" 0 - 4 "Barcelona" (First match: 0-5, final result: 0-9) 21' [0 - 1] J,Mathieu 40' [0 - 2] S.Roberto 43' [0 - 3] Pedro (11m penalty) 90' [0 - 4] C.Adriano
