La Real have been knocked out of Copa del Rey by Lleida Esportiu. Unexpectedly, Lleida Esportiu got back in the match and have qualified for the last-16. Great disappointment for la Real who were winning 2-0 at the half-time.
The first leg’s result put la Real on truck but they needed to validate the pass. During the first minutes of the match, the team from Catalonia were brave and approached the goal. La Real were controlling the match, they had chances and took advantage of them. Llorente scored with a header and Juanmi scored after dodging the goalkeeper.
The realistas were worried at the beginning of the second half. In three minutes, the team from Lleida evened the score. Anoeta was alert after the goals by Aitor and Manu. Three minutes before the end of the clash, Trilles scored and our hopes faded at the stroke of a pen.
