Gareth Bale Returns as Real Madrid Draw vs. Fuenlabrada in 2017 Cope Del Rey

Gareth Bale came off the bench to help Real Madrid qualifiy for the last 16 of the 2017 Copa Del Rey on Tuesday. Bale, who was returning from injury, provided two assists as Los Blancos drew 2-2 with Fuenlabrada to complete a 4-2 aggregate victory.

Borja Mayoral turned both of Bale's assists into goals after Real suffered an early shock. They were one down in the first half when Luis Milla scored, prompting Bale's introduction as a substitute 17 minutes after the break.

Alvaro Portilla got a late equaliser for the visitors, but it wasn't enough.
