Copa del Rey, semi final second leg

Real Madrid 4 - Zaragoza 0

Zaragoza scraped through to the final of the Copa del Rey by the skin of their teeth after Real Madrid came within a goal of overturning the 6-1 result from the first leg. A packed Bernabeu stadium saw the "Galacticos" score three times within the opening ten minutes, Cicinho getting the first with a spectacular shot, Robinho adding a second from close up and Ronaldo connecting with a centre from Beckham to make it three. The visitors held on after that though until the hour mark, when Roberto Carlos made it 4-0 following a free kick. Ewerthon had a goal disallowed though at the other end for a questionable offside, and Ronaldo failed to beat César with two late chances which would have put them through on the away goal rule. However it was not to be, and Zaragoza go on to play the winner of the tie between Deportivo and Espanyol, which is still pending the date for the second leg to take place. (14.02.06)
