Javier Hernandez scored a late winner as Real
Madrid edged past 10-man Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 win to secure their
place in the Champions League semi-finals.
The striker tapped in
from close range as the hosts pressed for the all-important winner,
after Diego Simeone’s men had Arda Turan sent off for a second yellow
card with 13 minutes remaining.
Cristiano Ronaldo was denied by
Jan Oblak just before the break, while Hernandez earlier spurned two
chances from good positions for Real Madrid, who enjoyed the majority of
possession as they had in the first leg.
But Hernandez's late
strike would be enough to give Real their first win over Atletico in
eight meetings since their triumph in last year’s final and keeps them
on course for an unprecedented defence of their crown, with Carlo
Ancelotti's side finding out their semi-final opponents in Friday
morning's draw in Switzerland.
