MADRID (AP) --- Alvaro Arbeloa got off to a dismal start as the new coach of
Real Madrid, seeing his team lose to second-division club Albacete 3-2 and drop
out of the Copa del Rey in the round of 16 on Wednesday.
Jeft Betancor scored the game-winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to
send Albacete to the quarterfinals. Gonzalo Garca had also scored in added
time for Madrid to even the match at 2-2.
Madrid struggled from the start in the debut of Arbeloa, the club's former
B-team coach who on Monday was picked to replace Xabi Alonso following a
tumultuous eight-month stint at the helm.
