Eden Hazard came back in favor of Real Madrid who beat Elche 2-1 for the Copa del Rey | VIDEO

Real Madrid reached the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey after eliminating Elche in extra time (2-1). Despite the fact that he started losing, the “White House” managed to turn the score around with a score from Eden Hazard in the final minutes of the match.

At 115′, the cast led by Carlo Ancelotti was motivated, because moments before they had found the tie. This caused the ‘Franjiverdes’ to lose concentration and, at that moment, the Belgian striker received a deep ball after winning the backs of the defenders.

The ‘Duke’ easily dodged the goalkeeper who rushed out with great quality and scored Real Madrid’s second with great quality. That goal silenced the fans of the Manuel Martínez Valero Stadium.

Real Madrid vs. Elche: previous

It will be the first presentation of the ‘White House’ after winning the Spanish Super Cup trophy in Saudi Arabia. Carlo Ancelotti’s team will face the team from Elche who started 2022 with four undefeated matches.

Last Sunday, the team from the capital beat Athletic Club 2-0 and won the first title of the campaign. After that, the meringues continue the route in the cup competition that will cross them against Elche that has three wins and a draw in the year.

On his side, Elche will not be able to count on Javier Pastore and Josema Sánchez for testing positive for the coronavirus. Enzo Roco, Iván Marcone and Pedro Bigas are injured. The Argentine Darío Benedetto returned to his country to close his signing for Boca Juniors.

Those registered in the summons may be those of Fidel Chaves and Helibelton Palacios, who have already passed COVID-19, while Pablo Piatti and Kiko Casilla are doubtful, since they must complete two negative test results.
