Atletico Madrid ended a 25-game, 14-year winless streak against rival
Real Madrid, getting a 98th-minute goal from Miranda for a 2-1 victory
in the Copa del Rey final on Friday night following the ejections of
Real star Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Jose Mourinho.
Ronaldo put
Madrid ahead in the 14th minute with a header, his 54th goal of the
season, but Atletico tied the score in the 35th minute when Radamel
Falcao set up Diego Costa.
Real Madrid hit the goal frame three
times, and Atletico went ahead when Miranda, a Brazilian defender,
headed in a cross from Jorge "Koke" Resurrecion.
Mourinho was sent
off for protesting in the 76th minute and Ronaldo received a straight
red card in the 114th for kicking Gabi Fernandez in the face, setting
off a sideline scuffle.
Atletico had 19 losses and six draws against Real since its previous win.
