Girona vs Real Madrid LIVE
Copa del Rey 2018-19
Venue: Estadi Montiliv
Karim Benzema scored twice as Real Madrid beat Girona 3-1 on Thursday night - and 7-3 on aggregate - to reach the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Benzema - who struck twice in a 4-2 weekend LaLiga win at Espanyol - was off the mark again after 27 minutes, curling home a neat finish after great build-up play.
The 31-year-old all but ended the game as a contest two minutes before the interval with another curling effort into the net after good work from Vinicius.
Girona needed four goals by this point, and got one back through Pedro Porro with 19 minutes to play.
But Real ended any brief hopes of a fightback four minutes later as Marcos Llorente finished well after a driving run towards the box.
