Courtois won the Copa del Ray final for Atletico Madrid coming from the behind,
beating city rival Real Madrid by 2-1 margin in an ill-tempered match where we
have seen 3 sent off decisions alongwith Real boss Jose Mourinho & key

Friday.
Ronaldo put the Los Blancos ahead in the 13th minute of the
game when he headed a ball inside the net following a corner by Luka Modrich
but Diego Costa delivered the equalizer for Atletico in the 35th minute,
capitalizing on a brilliant ball played in by Radamel Falcao to beat Diego
Lopez just inside the right post.

guided the match into the extended extra time.
In the 95th minute, Costa would get behind the Real defense but shoot
the ball directly at Diego Lopez, squandering a wonderful chance to put
Atletico ahead.
Four minutes later, though, Atletico defender Miranda would head home a
cross from Koke, putting Los Rojiblancos ahead 2-1 in extra time.

Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant save once again on Mesut Ozil's shot attempt
from inside the box, denying the home team a sure goal.

towards the end, as
