Bilbao beat Málaga 2-1 in the second semi-final on Thursday night. Barcelona will face Sevilla in the title fight next Sunday.
Real, who held the ball for more than two-thirds of the game, did not have much advantage in the attack in the first half. In the last 30 minutes, they seemed a bit familiar, but Vinicius-Benzemara was not as effective in breaking down the opponent’s solid defense.
Lucas Vasquez, who shone from the start of the season when the defense or the attacking team needed him, faded away. Real digested the first goal without forgetting it. The Spanish will not be able to avoid responsibility in the second goal.
The last champions were left behind in the 18th minute by forgetting Vásquez. On the right side of the D-box he puts the innocent ball at the opponent’s feet. After receiving the gift, Dani García increased the great defensive pass in the D-box. Raúl García dodged the goalkeeper with a corner kick with a cool head.
Garcia doubled the lead with a successful penalty shot in the 36th minute. The referee whistled the penalty when right-back Vásquez took Íñigo Martínez out from behind.
Real survived for a short time in the ninth minute of the second half; Iker Munian goes through the head post. The Madrid field was joined by the frustration of not being able to score twice in seven minutes; The Spanish forward’s long-range shot was blocked off the crossbar after Marco Asensio’s shot hit the post in the 61st minute.
Finally, in the 63rd minute, Real saw the net. The ball spread to his teammate’s head from the right side, touched the opponent’s foot and went into goal. The linesman raised the offside flag, but the referee blew the whistle on seeing the VAR.
Bilbao could have increased the lead again in the 70th minute with a counterattack. However, Acier’s shot went ahead and was blocked by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
For the rest of the time, Real cornered the opponent with one attack after another. Sergio Ramos’ header was deflected in the 8th minute. And at the end of added time, when the Real captain fell while heading to area D, a penalty appeal emerged. It takes a long time to be sure of VAR technology, the tension continues to grow. The hopes of Real, however, were not fulfilled, Bilbao exploded with joy.
