Real Madrid managed a 3-2 away win against Leganes to book a spot in the Copa del Rey semi-finals. 20-year-old Gonzalo Garcia scored a dramatic late winner for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Luka Modric drew first blood for Los Blancos, scoring a classy goal with the outside of the boot after a swift receive on the edge of the penalty area. His goal came in the 18th minute.

Endrick added the second, scoring in the 25th minute to hand a 2-0 lead to his side. The Brazilian youngster has now managed five goals in three starts.

Juan Cruz, though, struck twice (39' P. 59') to level it for Leganes. It looked like the game is heading to extra time, just as he did for Los Merengues in the last round.

Young Gonzalo Garcia, however, had other plans. He scored a short-range header in injury time (90+3') to secure his side a passage to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
