Although there were almost no doubts that after the first match having a 5-2 advantage, "Barcelona" would march into the Copa del Rey final, on Thursday in the second leg of the semi-final, Madrid's "Getafe" crushed the Catalan superclub with a score of 4-0 and advanced to the final, where they will face "Sevilla", who won their second leg semi-final match on Wednesday.
Madrid 4 - 0 (First leg 2-5; aggregate score 6-5) 38` [1 - 0] Francisco Casquero 43` [2 - 0] Daniel Guiza 71` [3 - 0] Angel Vivar Dorado 73` [4 - 0] Daniel Guiza
The players from the Madrid suburbs pressured "Barcelona" from the start of the match, but they struggled to capitalize on their chances until the end of the first half when defender Francisco Casquero scored after a corner kick.
Just five minutes later, striker Daniel Guiza doubled the lead after taking advantage of a mistake by defender Gianluca Zambrotta and beating Albert Jorquera. In the middle of the second half, defender Angel Vivar Dorado scored the third goal, shifting the combined result of the two matches in favor of "Getafe", and Guiza sealed the victory in the semi-final by taking advantage of another defensive error by "Barcelona".
"This shows how beautiful football is as a sport," said "Getafe" head coach and former "Barcelona" player Bernd Schuster after the match. "We were simply fantastic, we deserved the win. I am happy for my players and the fans."
"Throughout my life in football, I have seen many things and I knew that the most important thing is to believe in the possibility of winning," the coach affirmed.
The Copa del Rey final between "Getafe" and "Sevilla" will be played on June 23 at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium.
