Spain Cup: Sociedad meets Mirandes .. Bilbao faces Granada
The draw for the Spanish Football Cup semi-finals, which was withdrawn Friday at the headquarters of the local federation of the game, resulted in Real Sociedad facing Mirandes of the second degree, and Athletic Bilbao with Granada.
Sociedad had achieved a surprise of a large caliber by directing Real Madrid by defeating him in the home of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium 4-3, while the other Basque Country team Athletic Bilbao overthrew Barcelona by defeating it with a fatal goal scored in overtime.
On the other hand, Granada defeated defending champion Valencia 2-1 on Tuesday, and Mirandes beat Villarreal 4-2 on Wednesday.
The semi-finals will be held in two phases, where the first two matches will be held on February 12, and the second leg on the fourth of next March. The final match will be held on April 18.
Al-Ittihad announced on Wednesday that the “Cartuja” stadium in Seville will host the final match, starting from this version of the competition until 2023.
The stadium, also known as the Seville Olympic Stadium, which is not used by any club from the local league during the season, hosted the cup final on two occasions, the first in 1999 when Valencia defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0, and the second in 2001 and ended with Real Zaragoza’s victory over Celta Vigo 3 -1, according to “AFP”.
