It’s advantage Real Madrid in their Copa del Rey semi-final tie against Real Sociedad. Los Blancos will return home to the Bernabeu for the deciding fixture on April 1 possessing a 1-0 lead after a hard-fought victory over their LaLiga rivals at Anoeta on Wednesday night that came without Kylian Mbappe.

Endrick notched what proved to be the only goal of the game in San Sebastian, finishing confidently low with the outside of his left boot to beat Alex Remiro after taking a lovely first touch to collect a sweeping lofted pass from the returning Jude Bellingham. There were plenty of other chances across a lively 90 minutes, with Endrick himself coming the closest to a second goal as he cannoned an effort against the crossbar in the second half.
