Real Madrid lost 4-3 at home against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals and was eliminated from the competition. Although the score was 4-1 in favor of the visitors until the 80th minute, the Merengues managed to narrow the gap to just one goal in stoppage time.
Nacho Fernández scored the third goal for Zinedine Zidane's team in the 93rd minute. And although it wasn't enough, there is merit in the situation: when the play started, the 11 players of Imanol Alguacil's team were defending.
Luka Modric took the corner kick and the entire Real Sociedad team was in the box. The ball bounced around until Karim Benzema took advantage of a rebound from the goalkeeper and centered for Nacho Fernández to receive the ball and head it past Alex Remiro. At that moment, nine opponents were inside the box and two others were near the edge.
Finally, even though five more minutes were played, Real Madrid, which included Modric, Rodrygo, and Luka Jovic in the second half, failed to convert the other dangerous chances it created and lost 4-3 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
