Real Madrid won the quarter-finals match in the Copa del Rey competition at the team Madrid’s home soil Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The team Madrid had a heated start by volleying the first goal in the first half-time of the game.
The pass was made between the leg gap of the Real Madrid players, where Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos kicked the ball through and the Madrid player’s action defended the grab and reached the leg’s of Raphael Varane who converted it to a goal.
The game saw some high-intensity moments, including an injury to Sergio Ramos, who was forced off the pitch after blocking a powerful shot from Andre Pereira with his midsection. Zaragoza attempted to fight back through Shinji Kagawa, but his efforts were thwarted; goalkeeper Alphonse Areola produced a fine save to push one effort over the bar, while Varane intervened again to stop another Kagawa attempt from reaching the net.
Before the interval, the Madrid coaching staff pushed for a second goal to put the game out of reach. That goal arrived after a sequence of play where Vinicius Junior recovered the ball from the opposition. After a brief exchange involving Zaragoza's Miguel Linares and Toni Kroos, Lucas Vazquez eventually found the back of the net.
Following the halftime break, Zaragoza's defense became more resilient, though they struggled to convert their attacks into goals. Even a promising link-up between Enrique Clemente and Kagawa ended with the ball drifting wide of the post. As the tension rose between the two sides, Real Madrid extended their lead with a third goal, crafted by a sophisticated return pass between Vinicius Junior and James Rodriguez.
Zaragoza's goalkeeper put in a strong shift to keep the deficit from growing further. Marcelo Vieira attempted to break through, but was stopped by Simone Grippo, and another effort from Madrid's number 17 was successfully blocked by Alvaro Raton.
Despite Zaragoza's desperation to score, their best attempts were neutralized by a steady Alphonse Areola. The scoring was rounded off with a final goal resulting from a fluid team move: Brahim Diaz found Dani Carvajal on the right flank, who then crossed to Karim Benzema on the left to finish the play.
