Soccer-Mallorca knock Real Madrid out of King's Cup
MADRID, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Primera Liga leaders Real Madrid lost 1-0 at home to Real Mallorca in the King's Cup last-16 on Wednesday and went out of the tournament 3-1 on aggregate.
Argentine midfielder Ariel Ibagaza scored the only goal seven minutes from time at the Bernabeu, controlling a long freekick in the area and lobbing Jerzy Dudek to seal his side's passage. Mallorca won the first leg 2-1 last week.
Real had dominated the match but missed a host of chances after starting with a second-string side.
The introduction of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robinho in the second half failed to improve their luck and an inspired Miguel Angel Moya in the visitors' goal kept them at bay.
Mallorca will meet last season's finalists and Real coach Bernd Schuster's former club Getafe in the quarter-finals. Getafe beat the league's bottom club Levante 4-0 on aggregate. (Reporting by Mark Elkington)
