FULL-TIME: REAL MADRID 1-2 LEGANES. REAL MADRID ARE KNOCKED OUT OF THE COPA DEL REY!
90' +2
That might do it! Ramos can't get to a cross at the far post, though Real Madrid manage to keep play alive and the pressure on, until Champagne navigates his way through a crowd to collect a delivery in from the left. Was that their last chance?!
90'
The board goes up to indicate there will be a minimum of three minutes added on at the end of this match, just as a stray pass goes behind for a goal kick - one which Leganes will be in no rush to take.
88'
Ambitious! Naranjo bursts free on the break and spots Casilla off his line, thus tries to chip the keeper from 35 yards, but gets too much behind that as it lifts over the bar. Time winding down now on Real Madrid, who did leave it very late in the first leg if you remember, Asensio notching the winner in the 89th minute. They'll need more of that magic tonight if they are to go through to the semi-finals.
86'
Important stop there from Champagne, and it looked a remarkable one at first glance, but the second look suggests that may have been one for the cameras as he tips Ramos' header up over the bar. Real Madrid play the ensuing corner short, quickly give away possession and then concede a free-kick in midfield.
84'
STAT: Leganes are winless in their last eight matches away from home, across all competitions, losing six (D2).
82'
TWO BIG CHANCES! Vazquez picks out Benzema in space in the centre, but his effort from point-blank range is straight at Champagne, who does well to parry! Pressure stays on and Vazquez proves provider again, picking out Mayoral with his cross, but the substitute sends a glancing header wide of the far post!
80'
Sergio Ramos gets yellow.
José Naranjo enters the game and replaces N. El Zhar.
The final change of the match sees Jose Naranjo replace El Zhar.
Ramos goes into the book as he drags Beauvue down to prevent the striker from bursting free on the break.
79'
Real Madrid offering no threat here as they prod around harmlessly in attack. It's all very pedestrian from them, and time is quickly running out on their Copa del Rey aspirations.
77'
Borja Mayoral enters the game and replaces Isco.
Quite the surprise change here for Real Madrid as Isco, who has been prominent tonight, is replaced by Borja Mayoral.

Description
75'
N. Champagne gets yellow.
Champagne is booked for time wasting.
74'
STAT: Real Madrid have scored four goals in the final 10 minutes in the Copa del Rey this season.
72'
Poor effort in the end from Isco, who did everything right in the build-up. The midfielder makes a clever run on the back shoulder of the defence, brings the ball down with a smart first touch and cuts inside onto his right, but the shot is disappointing in the end as it drifts high and wide of the far corner.
70'
Raúl Carnero enters the game and replaces N. Amrabat.
Amrabat has put in a hard shift tonight, covering a lot of ground, and he's replaced for the final 20 minutes as a result, with the more defensive-minded Raul Garcia taking his place.
69'
L. Modrić enters the game and replaces Marcos Llorente.
Luka Modric is also brought on at the expense of Llorente. Zidane will be hoping he can carve out a moment of magic.
68'
Dani Carvajal enters the game and replaces A. Hakimi.
Double change for Real Madrid here, the first of which sees Dani Carvajal replace Achraf.
66'
Gabriel has been excellent for the visitors tonight. He's eating up so much space in midfield, providing excellent cover for the defence. Eraso is following his lead as well, tracking back to provide a nother body to help congest things in the final third.
64'
Chances are proving hard to come by for Real Madrid. They're showing a bit more urgency, but it hasn't translated to success in attack. Leganes are looking comfortable as ever at the back. It's going to take something special.
62'
STAT: Of the 10 goals (before tonight) Real Madrid have scored in this season’s Copa del Rey, eight have come in the 59th minute or later.
60'
Luka Modric warming up now for the hosts, as Zidane surely starts to sweat a bit. It's safe to say their LaLiga hopes are slim to none, and there's nothing that can be taken for granted in Champions League, so this very well might be their best chance at a trophy this season. They could end the campaign with no silverware if they can't salvage a result tonight.
58'
M. Mantovani enters the game and replaces D. Siovas.
Leganes make the first change of the night as Martin Mantovani replaces Siovas.
57'
Real Madrid have it all to do now. The score is level on aggregate, but they are heading out on away goals as things stand. The Santiago Bernabeu has been stunned into silence, and it's hard to blame these supporters, who have watched their side be outclassed all over the pitch tonight.
55'
Gabriel Pires has scored a goal for Leganes! Assist by Eraso.
JUST LIKE THAT, LEGANES ARE BACK IN FRONT! It's a totally deserved lead for the visitors, who are through on away goals as things stand! Gabriel, who has been nothing short of sensational for them tonight, shows great strength to fend off his marker to get on the end of Eraso's corner, sending a thumping header over Casilla and into the back of the net!
Eraso turns scorer to provider, notching the assist there.
53'
STAT: In their five Copa del Rey matches this season, Leganes have scored just one goal after the 50th minute.
51'
WHAT A CHANCE! Leganes looking for a quick response and they have successive corners. Pressure stays on following the second, and a cross comes in for Siovas, unmarked at the far post with the goal gaping, but he gets it all wrong, heading his effort away from goal! How'd he manage that?!
49'
It's incredibly harsh on Leganes, who deserve to be ahead based on their performance thus far. You always have to be switched on when facing Real Madrid though, and they find that out the hard way as their first lapse of the match is dearly punished.
47'
K. Benzema has scored a goal for Real Madrid! Assist by Lucas Vázquez.
Clever spot by Vazquez, who provides the assist.
REAL MADRID BACK ON LEVEL TERMS! And ahead on aggregate, at that! Benzema sneaks through unmarked to get on the end of Vazquez's throughball and chips a delicate finish beyond Champagne and in at the near post! It's exactly the start they needed!
46'
Back underway at the Bernabeu! Perhaps surprisingly, Zidane makes no changes at the break.
45'
HALF-TIME: REAL MADRID 0-1 LEGANES.
CLOSE! Beauvue with a wonderfully acrobatic bicycle-kick at the far post that narrowly misses the mark! What a moment that would have been for the striker, with what turns out to be the last kick of the first half.
43'
Just two minutes from half-time and Leganes are poised to head into the break level on aggregate. If anyone is going to find a late goal here it would appear Leganes are the likelier to do so, in the midst of a crisp spell in possession as they frustrate the hosts.
41'
These supporters are growing a bit restless as Real Madrid struggle to break Leganes down. The visitors have organised themselves excellently in attack and have really had precious little to concern them as a result.
39'
STAT: Through five Copa del Rey matches this season, Leganes have yet to concede in the first half.
37'
CLOSE! That's probably the closest Real Madrid have come, in fact. Isco clips in an inviting cross from the right and Benzema flies through the air to try and meet it, but he winds up falling an inch short of connecting on the header!
35'
For Leganes, that strike is their first goal at the Bernabeu in all competitions. It's a historic moment for the club, but they're not content yet. Beauvue comes close to an easy tap-in at the far post, but Nacho does well to recover and snuff out the chance.
33'
It's all level on aggregate now! Headed for extra-time as things stand, and Real Madrid have shown little up to this point to suggest they will turn this around. Still plenty of time to be played, of course, and there's quality all throughout their side, but they need to start showing some urgency.
31'
Eraso has scored a goal for Leganes!
OH ME OH MY, WHAT A STRIKE! Sensational hit from Eraso, who picks up the ball in all sorts of space from 25 yards, has a quick look at goal and bends a delicious effort into the top corner! Where was the Real Madrid defence?!
29'
Zidane came under pressure following Real Madrid's poor showing in the first leg, but it's only going to get worse for him tonight if they can't find a way to turn things around. They are really struggling here, with Leganes - particularly Gabriel - running their show at the moment.
27'
Tito gets yellow.
Tito is shown the first yellow card of the match as he blocks the path of Isco on the left edge of the penalty area, taking the midfielder to ground while making no attempt to win the ball.
25'
Decent chance for the visitors as Real Madrid are so concerned with marking Brasanac from a corner that they leave Gabriel unmarked. The midfielder barely has to jump to meet it, but his effort is tame and straight at Casilla in the end. Disappointing.
23'
Amrabat is enjoying plenty of success down the left flank for the visitors, with Achraf often getting caught high up the pitch. Llorente has had to do a lot of covering as a result, but Achraf has to be more studious going forward or he could be punished by his compatriot.
21'
It remains goalless at the Bernabeu, meaning both sides have kept their record of not conceding in the opening 20 minutes of a Copa del Rey match this season in tact. That's six matches each without giving up an early goal for these clubs.
19'
STAT: Real Madrid are winless in their last three Copa del Rey matches at the Santiago Bernabeu, conceding six goals (D2, L1).
17'
Leganes' approach, combined with Real Madrid's typical thirst for goals, suggests this will be an entertaining second leg. There certainly appears to be goals in it, and right now it looks to be on a knife's edge.
15'
Well full credit to Leganes who have not been shy about pushing bodies forward in the opening 15 minutes. A victory of any kind tonight would see them through tonight, with the exception of 1-0 (which would force extra-time).
13'
Real Madrid back on the front foot, attacking with plenty of width. They're finding space on the flanks, but their deliveries in from the wide areas have been lacking in quality, making life easy on the Leganes defence.
11'
Dreadful touch! Beauvue is onside as a ball is chipped through for him over the top. All he has to do is bring it down and he's clean through on goal, but a horrible touch forces him backwards, and Ramos is able to recover.
9'
STAT: Neither of these sides have conceded in the opening 20 minutes of a Copa del Rey match this season.
7'
The first half at Butarque was a tough watch last week, with neither side offering much in attack as the opening 45 minutes played out to a dreary 0-0 draw. The opening minutes here have not at all followed the same script with chances coming already at both ends, and a tempo to suggest we will see more.
5'
WOODWORK! Leganes respond with a prominent spell of their own on the fringes of the Real Madrid penalty area, and win a free-kick in a very dangerous position as Kovacic is penalised for a handball. Beauvue takes, getting it up and over the wall with some terrific bend, but it smacks off the post and goes behind!
3'
Sloppy start from Leganes, which has resulted in some early Real Madrid pressure. The hosts work the ball around tidily in the final third, and a dangerous ball comes in from Hernandez, but eventually is collected by Champagne.
1'
AND THEY'RE OFF! Real Madrid in white as they get the match underway, attacking left to right, with Leganes in green.
Hello and welcome to the Santiago Bernabeu for live coverage of this Copa del Rey quarter-final second leg as Real Madrid host Leganes!
While Real Madrid’s path to the last-four looks clear, they have struggled at the Bernabeu in the competition this season, held to a pair of 2-2 draws against Numancia and Fuenlabrada – though Leganes would have to improve on that scoreline to go through tonight.
Stern Leganes resistance was undone by a late Marco Asensio strike in the first leg as Real Madrid carry a slender 1-0 lead back home tonight as they look to take care of business and book their place in the semi-final.
A trip to Valencia is looming for Real Madrid at the weekend, and their focus will be on that match with their position in the LaLiga top four looking precarious at the moment. That being said, this may be their best chance at silverware this season.
Leganes did well to reach this stage of the competition for the first time in their history, but they will not be looking to settle. They have built enough of a gap between them and the relegation zone to have an honest go at pulling the upset tonight.
CONFIRMED TEAM NEWS:
REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Casilla; Achraf, Nacho, Ramos, Hernandez; Kovacic, Llorente, Isco; Vazquez, Asensio, Benzema.
Zinedine Zidane makes wholesale changes to his side following an uninspiring display in the first leg, despite walking away with a 1-0 victory. Karim Benzema comes in to lead the line and Isco is restored in midfield, while three quarters of the back-line is changed as Achraf Hakimi, Nacho and Sergio Ramos are brought into the side. Daniel Carvajal, Jesus Vallejo, Raphael Varane, Dani Ceballos and Borja Mayoral are the ones replaced.
Asier Garitano makes three changes from the first leg. Darko Brasanac and Gabriel are brought in as the preferred partnership to anchor the midfield, while Nordin Amrabat comes in to flank striker Claudio Beauvue, with Ruben Perez, Gerard Gumbau and Jose Naranjo giving way.
Real Madrid leave the pitch to a chorus of jeers following an uninspiring first-half display that sees them trail heading into the interval following a stunning strike from Eraso. It's a deserved lead for Leganes, who have been far and ahead the better side through 45 minutes. They have levelled things on aggregate as we stand, but will fancy their chances of going and winning this tie.
That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along. Goodbye!
A historic night for Leganes who are through to the Copa del Rey semi-final for the first time, as they score their first ever goals at the Santiago Bernabeu! Eraso's stunning strike opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half, but it was Gabriel's thumping header that ultimately proved the difference to send Leganes through on away goals after Real Madrid had levelled through Karim Benzema shortly after the restart.
