Girona (1-3) Real Madrid

Girona 1 vs Real Madrid 3 (3-7 agg): Real Madrid into Copa de Rey semifinals over decisive win at Girona

Karim Benzema scored a superb double as Real Madrid won 3-1 at Griona to complete a 7-3 aggregate success and cruise into the semi-finals of the Copa de Rey.

A Sergio Ramos brace established a comfortable cushion for Madrid in the first leg and Benzema capitalised with two first-ha ovlf strikes at Estadi Montiliv in Thursday's return.

Girona needed a fast start and they hit the woodwork in the second minute, Alex Granell's inswinging free-kick from wide on the right wing crashing back off the crossbar.

But Madrid took the lead in the 27th minute, Benzema swapping passes with Dani Carvajal to create space before thrashing a swerving drive past goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz.

And while Porro beaty Keylor Navas in the 71st minute to briefly spark hope Girona, they had left themselves for too much to do and Llorente's fine run and 20-yard drive settled matters.
