Zaragoza destroy Real's treble bid
BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) -- Real Zaragoza fought their way back from a goal and a man down to claim a dramatic 3-2 extra-time victory over Real Madrid in Spain's King's Cup final.
Argentine midfielder Luciano Galletti grabbed the winner nine minutes before the end of extra time with a stinging shot to end Real's treble dream.
England captain David Beckham put Real ahead with a superbly struck free kick midway through the first half but Zaragoza battled back to lift the trophy.
Winners three times in the last 10 years, they took a 2-1 lead before the break with a fine goal from Dani and a penalty from fellow striker David Villa.
Real equalized with a 25-metre rocket shot from a free kick by Roberto Carlos just three minutes after the break.
And Zaragoza suffered a further setback when they were reduced to 10 men after Cani was sent off in the 67th minute.
But Real could not press home their numerical advantage and they too went a man down when Guti was sent off six minutes into the first period of extra time.
The teams traded attacks as they went in search of the winning goal but it was substitute Galletti who settled the game in dramatic fashion.
