Incredible!!!!!!! The guests Atlético are in front!!!! After a perfect cross by Koke from the right wing it was Miranda whose header at the right post went past Diego López who waited on the goal line!
Stay tuned for overtime!
Another through ball by the guests and this time it was perfectly timed. The ball by Falcao from within the midfield ended up just in front of DIEGO COSTA who escaped from the guard by Sergio Ramos and fired the ball from about 18 metres distance into the right bottom corner for the equalizer!
The corner from the right side by Özil came towards the six-yard box from where CRISTIANO RONALDO scored with a header into the left top corner! He pushed Godín a little but not enough for a foul.

They way to the finals was not easy for the two teams. Real Madrid beat CD Alcoyano (4-1/3-0), Celta de Vigo (1-2/4-0), Valencia CF (2-0/1-1) and FC Barcelona (1-1/3-1). Their rivals Atlético Madrid faced Real Jaén (3-0/1-0), Getafe CF (3-0/0-0), Real Betis (2-0/1-1) and Sevilla FC (2-1/2-2).
Real Madrid are the big favourites in this match off course. Not only have they won more Copa del Reys (18x, the last one in 2011 with a 1-0 OT against FC Barcelona) than Atlético Madrid (9x, the last one in 1996, ironically also with a 1-0 OT against FC Barcelona). Even more important Atlético have not won even a single game against Real Madrid since 1992 – a 2-0 success in the Copa del Rey final.
If Real get the expected win in front of their own fans in the Bernabeu Stadium or if Atlético can get the sensation, we'll see tonight.
