Real Madrid v Leganes - Copa del Rey, Quarter Final Second Leg: Leganes players celebrating their victory

Nereo Champagne: 7/10

Champagne was a solid presence at the back. He was called into action quite often and did well on all occasions. He made excellent stops throughout the match to keep his team in the game.

Tito: 7/10

The full-back had a pretty solid game for his team. He did not allow anyone on his inside, neither did he allow Theo to flourish on the overlap. Attacking, he did not venture up much, but who can demand more after such a solid showing at the back.

Unai Bustinza: 8/10

The center-back, like his defensive partners, was always alert to the dangers Real players posed to his goal and was ever-ready to deal with them. He never gave an inch of space to anyone in and around the penalty box.

Dimitrios Siovas: 8/10

Siovas put in a good performance as he was constantly in the way of Benzema and company, keeping them at bay for the majority of the game. He made a string of important interceptions and tackles to keep Leganes in the game.

Diego Rico: 6.5/10

Rico defended his team's left flank quite diligently. He was tentative and always ready to go into a tackle. However, he quite often overwhelmed by the overlapping Vazquez and Carvajal combo later in the game.

Nabil El Zahr: 5.5/10

Playing as a right-winger on the night, his attacking input during his time on the pitch was next to nothing. However, he more than made up for it by tracking back and covering the runs of Lucas Digne.

Darko Brasanac: 7/10

The nimble-footed midfielder had a quite different role to play tonight. He was asked to play inside his own half without seeing much of the ball. He did that very well while also using his ability to turn defense into attack quickly.

Gabriel Pires: 8/10

The defensive midfielder was quite combative in the middle of the park. He screened his defense well and never did shy away from a tackle despite an apparent gulf in quality. He scored Leganes' second of the night to send them into the next round.

Real Madrid v Leganes - Copa del Rey, Quarter Final Second Leg: Eraso scored Leganes' first of the night

Javier Eraso: 6.5/10

Javier put in a great performance in the middle of the park. He tracked back to defend when not in possession and then went ahead to support his teammates with equal enthusiasm. His strike for Leganes' first of the night was amazingly stuck and was quite unstoppable.

Nordin Amrabat: 6/10

The wide midfielder did not contribute much to his team's attacking fortunes. However, just like his counterpart on the other side of the pitch, his hard work in defense was absolutely crucial.

Claudio Beauvue: 5.5/10

He was unable to unleash any troubling shots on goal to continue his goal-scoring form. He tried to link midfield and attack a couple of times but nothing that inventive came off.

Substitutes:

Martin Mantovani: 8/10

Brought on for Siovas, he had quite big boots to fill after the kind of performance that was put by the center-back. To his credit, he did exactly what was expected of him.

Raul Garcia: 5.5/10

He was brought on for Nordin Amrabat with about twenty minutes left to play. He did contribute much to attack. However, he tracked back often and helped out his defense.

Naranjo: N/A

Late substitution, could not affect the game.
