ELCHE 1-0 REAL MADRID (aet)
Going down a man and a goal from the resulting foul did not stop Real Madrid from advancing to the quarterfinal.

Down a man and a goal did not stop Real Madrid from making a comeback. Isco deflected Dani Ceballos’ shot into the net to level things in the 108th minute before Eden Hazard made a smart run behind the defensive line to score the winning goal in the 115th minute.
ATHLETIC CLUB 3-2 BARCELONA (aet)
