Real Sociedad ended Madrid's 21-game unbeaten run with its win at the Santiago Bernabeu to reach the semifinals for the first time in six years.
Real Sociedad's victory halted Madrid's eight-game winning streak and handed the club its first loss in all competitions since October.Real Sociedad, a semifinalist in 2014, will be looking to win its third Copa del Rey trophy — and first since 1987. “We gave everything we had in the end, but it was too late,” Madrid defender Marcelo said. “It's hard to come back after conceding four goals at home. It's disappointing, but we still have other competitions ahead of us.”
Young Swedish striker Alexander Isak added to the lead with goals two minutes apart early in the second half — a volley in the 54th and a shot into the top corner in the 56th.
