What tension!
Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, Copa Del Rey Final: Alves And Pinto Saves Barcelona, Send Match To Extra Time
I can’t say enough what a brilliant play Dani Alves made to prevent Ronaldo from likely netting the match winner. Just a tremendously alert play by Alves to not only stop the shot but not foul Cristiano and potentially give up a penalty. Very very clutch.
WHAT A SAVE BY PINTO!!
Madrid have turned up the pressure in the dying minutes of the normal time. Angel di Maria with a lovely shot from just outside the box looked destined for the back of the net, but Jose Pinto makes a finger tip save, pushing the ball just over the crossbar.
That's it! The full time whistle blows and we are going to extra time in the Copa del Rey final! What a finish to the second half as Real Madrid, who'd been seemingly dead in the water for most of the second half, had several great chances to win the match. Great individual plays by Dani Alves and Jose Pinto kept Barcelona alive.
