Second division Albacete stun Real Madrid to reach Copa del Rey quarter-finals

Real Madrid were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by second division Albacete in Alvaro Arbeloa’s first game in charge.

Albacete took the lead in the 42nd minute when defender Javi Villar headed Jose Lazo’s corner past Andriy Lunin.

Madrid responded promptly in first-half stoppage time through Franco Mastantuono.

But substitute Jefte Betancor scored twice – either side of Gonzalo Garcia’s equaliser – in the final eight minutes of the game to seal the Segunda side’s place in the quarter-finals of the competition with a first victory over the 15-time Champions League winners.
