Real Madrid Survive Big Celta Vigo Scare in Copa Del Rey

Share:

Brazilian youngster, Endrick, scored two times in extra-time as Real Madrid kept their composure to finally see off Celta Vigo in a seven-goal thriller and reach the Copa Del Rey quarter-final.

Goals either side of half-time from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. had Carlo Ancelotti’s men cruising until the final 10 minutes of the match at the Bernabeu on Thursday night.

Pablo Duran set Jonathan Bamba up to pull a goal back for the visitors before former Chelsea and Barcelona man, Marcos Alonso, scored from the spot in the 90th minute to send the game to extra time.

With Mbappe and Vini already substituted, it would have been okay for Madrid fans to fear the worst, but youngsters Endrick and Arda Guler showed their quality to give Madrid a morale-boosting win.

Following a goalless first period of extra time, Endrick scored twice either side of a Federico Valverde rocket to put Real into the hat for the last eight of the Copa Del Rey.
