MADRID http://www.scarpeairmax90saldi.it/ , April 22 (Xinhua) -- A late goal from Real Madridstriker Javier Hernandez qualified Real Madrid for the semi-finalof the Champions League as they defeated neighbors Atletico 1-0 onthe night and on aggregate on Wednesday night.
The Mexican, who was only playing because Karim Benzema wasinjured, sidefooted home from close range after being set up byCristiano Ronaldo with less than four minute before the game wentinto extra time.
It was deserved by Real Madrid, who defeated Atletico for thefirst time in eight meetings this season, but who played nearly allof the little football seen over the 180 minutes of the tie.
Both coaches had surprises in their starting 11 with CarloAncelotti playing Rafael Varane and Pepe in central defense andpushing Sergio Ramos into midfield in preference to specialistmidfielders such as Asier Illaramendi and Lucas Silva.
That meant Ancelotti changed his usual tactic of playing 4-3-3for a 4-4-2 to try and outnumber Atletico in the middle of thepitch Nike Air Max 90 Rosa Saldi , while Saul instead of Gabi Fernandez was Diego Simeone'ssurprise choice.
The first half saw Real dominate the ball against a rival thathad striker Mario Mandzukic isolated in attack and Hernandez hadtheir first decent chance after 11 minutes, but screwed the ballinto the side netting.
Overall, though Atletico kept Real at bay and until Ronaldo sawa close range shot saved by the impressive Jan Oblak in the lastminute of the half, Real were limited to free kicks from JamesRodriguez and Ronaldo.
Atletico's only threat in the half came from long throws fromleft back Jesus Gamez and with Saul disappointing Gabi replaced himfor the second half.
Hernandez wasted another chance for Real Madrid three minutesafter the break, firing agonizingly wide after Isco producedvirtually the first defense-splitting pass of the match.
Overall the script was similar to the first half with Realcreating slightly more in a scrappy affair and Atletico looking toset pieces and perhaps for that Simeone introduced Raul Garcia forGriezmann to give his side more of an aerial threat.
Koke headed straight at Iker Casillas with Mandzukic unmarkedbehind him Nike Air Max 90 Blu Saldi , while Ronaldo shot at Oblak, but the game changed after75 minutes when Arda Turan was shown a second yellow card for ahigh challenge against Ramos to leave Atletico with 10 men.
Real took a step forward and Oblak produced a brilliant save todeny Hernandez with 10 minutes remaining, but he could do nothingto deny the Mexican seven minutes later as the fringe player becamethe hero of the night. Enditem
