    FT: Girona 1-3 Real Madrid (3-7 on agg) - It's been raining goals once again in the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid take this one comfortably, goals from Benzema and Marcos Llorente are enough to see off a spirited Girona side. The visitors progress to the semi-finals, where Barcelona could be lying in wait.
  • 90'
    THREE minutes added on.
  • 87'
    Not much happening. The game's finally fizzling out...
  • 84'
    And like Ramos before him, he's fine.
  • 83 '
    INJURY MADRID - Varane is down, looking to be in some pain.
  • 81'
    Girona fans leaving in their hundreds now. It's been a brave effort from their team, but Madrid have just been too good.
  • 77 '
    GOOOAAALL MADRID!! Marcos Llorente gets in on the act! The young Spaniard smashes in a low strike from the edge of the area.
  • 75 '
    CHANCE MADRID - Bale goes close with a low strike. Parried away by Iraizoz.

    GOOOAALLL GIRONA!! Well, they've got one back. Pedro Porro finds himself through on goal, and slots calmly past the onrushing Navas. Debutant Pachon got the assist, only three minutes after coming on.

    SUB MADRID - Here he comes! Gareth Bale is on, replacing Vinicius.

    CHANCE MADRID - Asensio flashes a shot across goal, and Iraizoz can only tip it away. It falls to Lucas Vazquez, who inexplicably hits the post from about three yards out. Bizarre.

    SUB MADRID - That's a shame. Benzema won't have the chance to complete a deserved hat-trick, as he comes off for Marco Asensio.
  • 55'
    Benzema picks out Vincius with a beatiful crossfield ball. The Frenchman's having some game - and it's just as well given the criticism he's endured since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
  • 53 '
    CHANCE MADRID - Benzema breaks clear of the Girona defence and cuts back to Vinicus, whose shot is blocked.
  • 46'
    And we're back underway! Can Girona salvage some pride? Or even mount the comeback of the season?
  • 45'
    HT: Girona 0-2 Real Madrid (2-6 on agg) - What a half! It could have been 5-5, but as it stands Madrid have a two-goal advantage thanks to a double from Karim Benzema. Girona now need four.
  • 45 '
    Absolutely outstanding save by Keylor Navas! Stuani lets rip on the half-volley from near the penalty spot, and the Costa Rican makes a superb stop to his left.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 43 '
    GOOOAAAALL MADRID!! Does that signal the end of the tie? Vinicius drives down the left, stopping at the by-line and passing backwards to Benzema, who takes a touch and bends an inch-perfect strike in off the far post.
  • 41'
    I can't believe we've only seen one goal. One of the most open games you'll see this season...
  • 39 '
    CHANCE GIRONA - Navas concedes a corner after misjudging a cross. Bernardo heads inches wide from the set-piece.
  • 38'
    He seems better now though.
  • 37 '
    INJURY RAMOS - Stuani collides with Ramos in the air, and it's the Madrid defender who comes out worse.
  • 35 '
    CHANCE GIRONA - Grenell strikes from distance and his shot requires a good save from Keylor Navas.
  • 32 '
    CHANCE MADRID - The two Brazilians on Madrid's left flank - Marcelo and Vinicius - have been combining well so far. This time it's Marcelo on the end of a one-two, and he suddenly finds himself through on goal. But his toe-poke is too close to Iraizoz, and is parried out for a corner.
  • 29'
    The visitors have been worth their lead, although Girona have had their chances too.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 27 '
    GOOOAAALL MADRID!! This time he makes no mistake! Benzema drives infield from the right, plays a clever one-two with Dani Carvajal and hits a left-footed strike which flies into the far corner of the net. 1-0!
  • 26 '
    CHANCE MADRID - Vinicius, who has looked lively today, charges through the Girona midfield before laying the ball off to Benzema, who drags his shot wide.
  • 24 '
    CHANCE MADRID - A period of patient build-up by Madrid ends with the ball at the feet of Toni Kroos. The German lines up a shot, but his tame effort is scooped up by Iraizoz.
  • 20'
    End to end game this. Surely can't be long before we see a goal.
  • 17'
    Big chances at both ends. Girona will be enjoying how open this game is.
  • 15 '
    CHANCE MADRID - Benzema receives the ball about 6 yard out, but he takes too long to get the ball out of his feet and his shot is blocked
  • 13 '
    CHANCE GIRONA - Lozano finds himself through on goal with only Sergio Ramos and teammate Stuani for company. The Madrid defender does well, making a well-timed tackle on the edge of the area.
  • 9'
    Madrid trying to keep possession but are being harassed at every opportunity by a fired-up Girona...
  • 5'
    A frenetic start to the game!
  • 2 '
    CHANCE GIRONA - A whipped free-kick catches Keylor Navas completely off guard, cannoning off the crossbar when the Madrid keeper was expecting a cross.
  • 1'
    And we're off!

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Last night's thriller between Barcelona and Sevilla produced seven goals. Will we see something similar today?
  • PRVW
    Girona face a sizeable, but far from impossible, task this evening. They lost the opening lef 4-2, but given they scored two away goals and are now playing in front of their own fans, an aggregate victory is certainly not out of the question.
  • PRVW
    The players have arrived and are warming up...
  • PRVW
    Navas and Marcelo return to the Real Madrid starting XI, while Gareth Bale is on the bench. The Welshman scored only two minutes after coming on in the first leg of this tie, and he'll be hoping to make a similar impact today.
  • PRVW
    South-Korean Seung-Ho Paik returns in central midfield for Girona, having recently returned from the Asian Cup, while Lozano and Stuani have been paired together up front.
  • PRVW
    And tonight's visitors, Real Madrid: Keylor Navas; Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Marcos Llorente, Ceballos; Lucas Vázquez, Benzema, Vinícius.
  • PRVW
    Time for some team news, starting with today's hosts, Girona: Iraizoz, Marc Muniesa, Bernardo, Ramalho; Pedro Porro, Granell, Douglas Luiz, Paik, Raúl García; Stuani, Lozano.
