Barca's Copa del Rey semifinal win keeps double hopes on track, proves an opportunity missed for Madrid

MADRID -- An Eder Militao own-goal gave Barcelona a narrow 1-0 Clasico win over Real Madrid in their Copa del Rey semifinal first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday.

Karim Benzema had a goal ruled out -- straying offside to receive Vinicius Junior's cross -- before Barca took the lead in the 26th minute. Midfielder Franck Kessie was played in by Ferran Torres, and when his shot was saved by Thibaut Courtois, the ball rebounded off defender Militao and into the net.
