Garcia conjures up for Real: Last minute victory in the Copa del Rey!

In the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, a dramatic finish ensured Real Madrid: The "royal" won 3-2 against CD Leganes after playing a 2-0 lead in the meantime. Like Laola1, the game started promising for the Madrilenen: Luka Modric opened the goal in the 18th minute, followed by Endrick, who expanded the lead just seven minutes later. But Leganes did not give up and shortened shortly before the half -time break by a converted penalty of Juan Cruz, who struck after a handball.

After the change of sides, an exciting game developed. Despite clear opportunities for Vinicius Jr. and Endrick, who missed the 3-1, Leganes managed to equalize in the 59th minute by Cruz. The game seemed to go into extra time when Gonzalo Garcia, an emerging star and youth player of Real Madrid Castilla, set the decisive header in added time and thus secured the 3-2 victory, like Si.com reported . Garcia, who is only 20 years old and already scored 19 goals for the second team this season, shows its versatility and promotion to the first team.

The upcoming challenges could now be particularly interesting for coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is increasingly relating to young talents. Garcia has proven with his winning goal that he has the potential to shine on the big stage, and Raúl, his coach at Castilla, already said that Garcia is also ready for the first team. Real Madrid thus moves into the semi -finals, another step on the way to a possible title.
