Real Madrid Ousted From Copa Del Rey By 10-Man, 3rd-Tier Alcoyano

MADRID (AP) — Third-division club Alcoyano came from behind to eliminate Real Madrid 2-1 in the round of 32 of the Copa de Rey on Wednesday.

The small club from eastern Spain scored in the 80th minute to force extra time and again in the 115th to make it to the last 16.

Alcoyano had gone a man down because of a red card just minutes before Juanan Casanova scored the winner from close range after a quick counterattack.

Based in eastern Spanish city of Alcoy, the small club of Alcoyano made it to the Copa quarterfinals in 1946.
