The second Copa del Rey semi-final between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid was less of a goal-fest compared to the thrilling 4-4 draw between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid the day before. The match was decided by a single goal from Endrick in the first half, giving Real Madrid a narrow 1-0 victory. However, the away win doesn't guarantee Madrid a place in the final, as Sociedad will have the chance to turn things around in the second leg on April 2.

Notably, Real Madrid's star striker Kylian Mbappé missed the match due to dental issues. In his absence, Vinícius Júnior wore the captain's armband for the first time. Meanwhile, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin played the full 90 minutes for Real Madrid, keeping a clean sheet in a crucial away victory.
