Real Madrid beat sprited Leganes 

Leganes (Spain), Jan 19 (IANS) Real Madrid are well on the way to reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey football tournament after beating Leganes 1-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie here.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane stuck with the same sub-heavy squad he has been using so far in the competition, though he ended up sending in starters Luka Modric and Isco Alarcon for the final 20 minutes of Thursday’s match as the visitors were struggling to create chances, reports Efe news agency.

As the minutes passed without a Real Madrid goal, Leganes dared to dream that they would finally reach the second leg of a Copa tie with something at stake.
