ATHLETIC CLUB LIFT COPA DEL REY

Athletic Club finally lifted the Copa del Rey, beating Mallorca on penalties in the final. They got close multiple times in the last few years but they have finally done it.

This is the first piece of silverware the club has won in the last 40 years. This was the 24th time they had won the Copa del Rey.

The match ended 1-1 in 90 minutes with Dani Rodriguez giving Mallorca a dream lead but Oihan Sancet equalising in the second half.

Keeper Julen Agirrezabala saved from Manu Morlanes and it was Alex Berengeur who dispatched the final penalty on a night that will long be celebrated in Bilbao.
