Real Madrid have one foot in the last four of the Copa del Rey after they rallied late to defeat Girona 4-2 in the opening leg of their quarter-final matchup on Thursday.
Anthony Lozano scored a surprise opener at the Santiago Bernabeu, but Lucas Vazquez responded for the hosts shortly before Sergio Ramos converted a penalty won by the quick feet of Vinicius Junior.
An Alex Granell penalty put Girona back level after 66 minutes, but Ramos rose to steer Real back into the lead, and Karim Benzema was free at the back post late on to seal a rousing first-leg result.
