Real Sociedad – Real Madrid Semi-Finals football match - First leg, live
28 ' It was a great save from Remiro! Madrid recovered the ball and quickly went on the counterattack. Bellingham passed it to Vinicius, who appeared on the left and entered the area to take a well-placed shot with his right foot and see how the opposing goalkeeper saved him from the ball with a spectacular save.
26 ' Oyarzabal, sorry for the equaliser! He feinted against his opponent and managed to get away with a shot at point-blank range, but Lunin guessed his intention and it went wide.
24 ' Real Madrid are pressing hard in search of a draw, but Madrid are in a very good position. Ancelotti's team are comfortable, despite having a hard time getting into the game.
21 ' Real Sociedad respond! Brais Méndez's shot is saved by Lunin.
19 ' Goal for Real Madrid!!! What a ball from Bellingham into space and what a well-directed control from Endrick with his thigh. He beat Zubeldia and finished masterfully against Remiro with the outside of his left leg. It's a great goal no matter how you look at it.
15 ' It seems that Madrid has found its feet in these first few minutes. Ancelotti's team has been playing for long periods of time, but they have not yet threatened Remiro's goal.
12 ' The grass is very fast and this is being reflected in the players' controls. It is very difficult to hit the ball first time.
9 ' Bellingham managed to head the ball in at the near post after a close-range effort, but the Englishman was unable to direct the ball.
7 ' Another mistake in Camavinga's delivery. The French midfielder has not started well, being too imprecise.
5 ' Lunin catches it! Camavinga's touch to the near post poisoned the ball and the goalkeeper caught it on the line.
4 ' Kubo had a chance! He passed the ball to Brais and faced Lunin, but the Japanese's shot was blocked by the Ukrainian. It will be a corner.
3 ' The first few minutes of the match and we can already see what Real's intentions are. Imanol's team is pressing high up the pitch and quickly recovering the ball.
2 ' It's Real's first! The ball came to Barrenetxea on the left, he came out of the dribble in front of Asencio and took a right-footed shot, but the ball missed the goal.
1 ' The ball is rolling at Anoeta! Real Sociedad put it into play.
0 ' The 22 players take to the pitch!!! The Real Sociedad anthem is playing and there is a light show in the stadium. A big night is coming up at Anoeta!
0 ' Everything is ready and set at the Reale Arena!!! The players are about to take to the pitch. The stadium is not full, but there will be a great atmosphere nonetheless.
0 ' The protagonists are warming up at the Reale Arena. The stands of the Real Sociedad home ground are starting to fill up with just 30 minutes left until the ball starts rolling.
0 ' Vinicius has scored three goals against Real Madrid in the 11 matches he has played against the 'txuri-urdin'. The last one was in this year's league match and came from the penalty spot. However, they are the second Spanish team against which he has lost the most times (3), only surpassed by Barcelona.
0 ' Without Mbappé and Ropdrygo, all eyes will be on Vinicus tonight, who will be Madrid's main offensive reference. The Brazilian has just broken a drought of six consecutive games without scoring with his goal against Girona.
0 ' Madrid are facing a decisive month. After losing the lead in La Liga to Barcelona and with the Champions League round of 16 against Atleti looming, the Whites will be looking to start these Copa del Rey semi-finals with a good result. The last time they reached a final was in 2023, after eliminating Barça in the semi-finals, and they ended up lifting the title against Osasuna.
0 ' Real Sociedad comes out with Remiro; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd; Aihen; Zubimendi, Sucic; Kubo, Brais Méndez, Barrenetxea; Oyarzabal.
0 ' There are eleven Real players! Imanol goes all out.
0 ' Real Sociedad face a key match in one of the best moments of their season. They have won 5 of the 6 games they have played. In addition, the 'txuri-urdin' remain strong at Anoeta, where they have only lost one game in the last 13.
0 ' Endrick has had even less prominence, having only made 3 starts and having played a meager 369 minutes. He also started against Leganés.
0 ' This is Güler's 10th start this season. He had not made it since the Copa del Rey quarter-final against Leganés. In fact, that was his last game with minutes on the pitch, as he has gone 5 consecutive matches without playing a single minute.
0 ' Madrid start with Lunin in goal; Asencio, Tchouaméni, Rüdiger, Fran García; Ceballos, Camavinga, Bellingham; Arda Güler, Endrick and Vinicius.
0 ' There are eleven confirmed for Real Madrid!
0 ' For his part, Imanol praised his opponent tonight: "They have shown the level they are at against an all-powerful team like Manchester City in the Champions League. It is normal that if they play at that level it will be very difficult to compete against them."
0 ' Ancelotti, in the press room, put an end to the supposed 'Güler Case': "I read somewhere that there is a 'Güler case', but it hasn't arrived here. He is in a process, like all the youngsters in the team. It already happened with Rodrygo, with Vinicius, with Valverde... He needs time to integrate and enter the dynamics of the best squad in the world. It's something that everyone understands or has to understand."
0 ' Both teams have faced each other on 19 occasions in the cup tournament. The record is totally equal, with 9 'merengues' wins, 9 'txuri-urdin' wins and one draw. They already faced each other in 2020 in the quarterfinals and Real Madrid beat Madrid by a narrow 3-4.
0 ' Madrid and Real Sociedad are two teams with a cup tradition. The white team has 20 titles, while the 'txuri-urdin' have only lifted the trophy twice, the last time in 2020 and against their eternal rival, Athletic.
0 ' Sánchez Martínez will be in charge of the match, while Figueroa Vázquez will be in charge of the VAR.
0 ' For their part, Real are expecting all available players and Imanol will go all out to get a good result at home.
0 ' There have been changes to the Real Madrid squad. Mbappé, Courtois and Fede Valverde have been left out. The Belgian and the Uruguayan are resting, while the Frenchman had a tooth removed yesterday and is resting.
0 ' Good evening!!! Wednesday is full of excitement and, above all, of Copa del Rey. Real Sociedad and Real Madrid will meet in the first round of these semi-finals starting at 9.30 pm. From here we will tell you the best preview as well as the minute-by-minute afterwards. Let's begin!
