Real Madrid lose in Copa Del Rey

Real Madrid have lost their first leg match in the fourth round of the Copa Del Rey, 3-2 to third division side Real Union.

Juan Dominguez was the home side’s hero with two goals in the first half, and Goikoetxea got the winning goal three minutes after the hour mark.

Real Madrid played a large part of the match with a heavily dented concentration level after the collapse of Ruben de la Red.

The midfielder collapsed after about twelve minutes and needed several minutes to regain consciousness. The latest reports fortunately indicate that it was ‘only’ low blood pressure that caused the incident.
