Copa del Rey: Endrick Fires Los Blancos To 1-0 Win In Semi-Final

Kylian Mbappé's replacement Endrick scored a first-half goal and Real Madrid won 1-0 at Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals on Wednesday. Madrid was without Mbappé after he had tooth removed and was forced to miss practice Tuesday. The France star has scored six goals in his last five matches. Endrick, an 18-year-old Brazil forward, scored in a breakaway after Jude Bellingham’s long pass. On Tuesday in the first leg of the other semifinals, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid drew 4-4. Both return matches will be played in April.
