Real Madrid 'crushes' Deportivo Minera and advances to the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (0-5)

The Real Madrid visited the Municipal Ángel Celdrán to face Deportivo Minera in the match corresponding to the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey and fulfilled their obligation. The merengues, who took to the field with a practically alternate team, thrashed their rivals (0-5) and secured qualification to the Round of 16 of the tournament.

The match was decided from the start. Arda Güler warned his rivals in the 2nd minute with a one-on-one well resolved by the local goalkeeper, who could do little against the powerful shot from Fede Valverde in the 5th minute to open the scoring. From that moment on, the field tilted in favor of the Madrid players who continued to create danger and increased their lead thanks to goals from Eduardo Camavinga and the '15' Turkish player.

A match without threats in the second half

Upon returning from halftime, the tone of the first 45 minutes remained the same and the whites set out to let the time run. Some inaccurate Endrick and Brahim Díaz sought, without luck, their goal, and it was Luka Modric who managed to break through the goal of Fran Martínez. Finally, Güler completed his double, almost unintentionally, with the fifth and final goal of the match.

In this way, the team of Carlo Ancelotti maintains their good run in this 2025 and, after defeating Valencia in La Liga (1-2), they advance to the next round in the Copa del Rey with a match that leaves good feelings at the White House. Their next test: next Thursday, January 9 against Mallorca for the semifinals of the Supercopa de España.
