0-1. Athletic will face Mirandés for a spot in the final of the Copa del Rey

The 'Lions' have agreed to the semifinals by the front door, with an opponent that weighed like a stone handicap on the scoreboard.

 The Balearic team went very conservative and not rushed their choices early on in order to score a goal and placed squarely on the tie, very uphill with a 2-0 first-leg at San Mames.

 Even with the cool image of a magical night at the Royal Society , which was removed, also, after overcoming a 2-0 win against the team of Joaquin Caparros was very cautious and not risk.

 Facing an opponent that was not going to give even one meter of land, as was visible to the first change and also very dangerous in counterattacks, with Muniain-injured in the final minutes of the first part and was Toquero-substituted, De Marcos, Susaeta and Llorente clear references as offensive.

 Mallorca was armed with patience to try to overcome the strategy designed by Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa, and although the ball quickly and criteria circulated, never caught unprepared in the wake of Bilbao.

 In fact, topped Mallorca not even once under the posts in the first 45 minutes.

 They tried Pereira and Alvaro on the wings, Alfaro and Hemed at the tip of the attack, but the first goal, which should give hope to the Balearics, did not come.

 On the contrary, it was Athletic who disposed of the best chances in front of goal by Juan Calatayud, and in 21 minutes through Muniain, whose shot was sent a corner kick goal by Mallorca.

 Mallorca fought to make history and qualify for the fifth time for the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, but also had to face Athletic grown in this competition, to the extent that it is the second team with the most titles, 23 after the FC Barcelona .

 In the second part, Athletic few meters back and defended in his field to Llorente and Toquero, Mallorca climbed to a level of intensity in search of the goal that gave him hope.

 Two penalties Mallorca players claimed the paths in the area falls Alfaro and Pereira, however, ignored the referee.

 The more attack, a move as absurd as unhappy sentenced Mallorca.

 Ramis delayed an easy ball to his goalkeeper, Juan Calatayud (min. 75), but the ball took a wrong boat and slipped into the goal Balearic to the despair of players and fans.

 That was the end the path of Mallorca in the Copa del Rey.  Athletic, which was superior to all the Balearic Islands in the two games, will play the semifinals with any merit.
