Atletico wins copa del Rey/Ronaldo sees Red
Atletico Madrid have won the 2012-13 Copa del Rey after an enthralling 2-1 extra-time victory against Real Madrid in the final at Santiago Bernabeu on Friday.

Miranda's goal in the 99th minute was enough for los Rojiblancos to clinch their 10th Copa crown and, in the process, end their long 25-match winless run in the Madrid derby.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring just before the quarter-hour mark with a thumping header, but an outstanding combination between Radamel Falcao and Diego Costa saw the latter level the scores after 35 minutes.

Los Blancos hit the woodwork three times in their search for a winner, which proved fruitless throughout regulation time before Miranda nodded home in extra-time to send the trophy to the red half of the Spanish capital.
