Real Madrid rescue a draw

Real Madrid gained a measure of redemption at the Camp Nou by holding Barcelona to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday and taking the upper hand in the semifinal of Copa del Rey.

Neither Lionel Messi nor Gareth Bale was named in the starting lineups for this first leg but their replacements filled the void as Malcom’s curling shot cancelled out an early opener from Lucas Vazquez. –
