For the fourth time in their history, Mallorca will contest the final of the Copa del Rey, having beaten Real Sociedad on penalties after the two teams could not be separated after 210 grueling minutes.
Real were the more dominant team in the first half at the Real Arena, although they couldn't finish off any of their chances. The biggest came from the penalty spot, but Brais Mendez was denied by an excellent stop from Dominik Greif. They were made to pay for those five minutes in the second period, as Giovanni Gonzalez headed home a beautiful cross from Jaume Costa.
That had Mallorca on their way to the final, but it was La Real's main man who dragged them back into the tie. Mikel Oyarzabal, who was on the field less than 10 minutes after returning from five games due to injury, was played by Mendez, and he made no mistake to bring the score to 1-1.
No further goals came in the remainder of normal time, nor in extra time, which meant penalties would decide the outcome. Oyarzabal's strike was saved early by Greif, and with Vedat Muriqi, Manu Morlanes, Omar Mascarell, Nemanja Radonjic and Sergi Darder all scoring, it was enough to see Javier Aguirre's side progress.
Majorca The winner of the other semi-final between Athletic Club and Atletico Madrid will now play, with the second leg taking place on Thursday – Los Leones hold a one-goal lead from the first leg in Madrid.
