SAN SEBASTIAN, FEB 28: Sergi Darder fired the decisive spot-kick as Real Mallorca beat Real Sociedad 5-4 on penalties to book their place in the Copa del Rey final on Tuesday.
With the two sides deadlocked at 1-1 following extra-time in the return leg after a goalless first leg, it was Mallorca who will line-up in the final in Sevilla at La Cartuja stadium on April 6.
The Balearic islanders will face the winner of Thursdays second semi-final - Athletic Bilbao taking a 1-0 lead into their home tie against Atletico Madrid.
After a goalless 140 minutes of play over the two legs, Uruguayan defender Giovanni Gonzalez finally struck to put Mallorca in control in San Sebastian.
Gonzalez latched onto a good cross from Jaume Costa to bury a close-range header past Sociedads keeper Alex Remiro.
But just as Mallorcas thoughts began to turn to a first appearance in the Cup final in two decades Sociedad were back level with skipper Mikel Oyarzabal blasting home a nifty assist from Brais Mendez inside the box with half an hour of normal time remaining. —AFP
