MADRID, May 17 (Reuters) – Atletico Madrid stunned city rivals Real to win a 10th King’s Cup when Miranda’s extra-time header secured a 2-1 win in an ill-tempered clash at the Bernabeu on Friday in which Real coach Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were sent off.

Ronaldo, shown a straight red card near the end of the game for kicking out at Atletico captain Gabi, who was later sent off himself, nodded Real ahead in the 14th minute before Diego Costa levelled 10 minutes before halftime.
