MADRID (AP) – Real Sociedad defeated second-division club Mirandes 1-0 Wednesday to reach the Copa del Rey final for the first time in more than three decades.
Mikel Oyarzabal converted a first-half penalty to give Sociedad a 3-1 aggregate win. The two-time Copa champion had won the first leg 2-1 at home.
Sociedad, playing some of the most attractive soccer in Spain, will face either Granada or Basque Country rival Athletic Bilbao, who play on Thursday. Athletic won the first leg 1-0 in Bilbao.
Sociedad will be playing in the final for the first time since 1988, a year after it won its second title.
