In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Real Madrid traveled to Real Sociedad and secured a narrow 1-0 victory. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin delivered an outstanding performance.
Details: In this encounter, he made six saves. According to Opta, this is the highest number of saves in a single match without conceding a goal. Moreover, it's the best record in the Copa del Rey since the 2013/14 season among goalkeepers who kept a clean sheet.
Incidentally, in this match, Brazilian winger Vinícius Júnior captained Real Madrid for the first time in his career.
Reminder: Before this game, "Los Blancos" had lost their last four away matches against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey, scoring only one goal during that period. Now, that streak has been broken.
In the other semi-final, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played to a 4-4 draw yesterday.
