Getafe's David Cortes (L) vies for the ball with Mallorca's Borja Valero during their Spanish Copa del Rey match in Getafe, Spain, Thursday. – AP MADRID - Getafe advanced to the Copa del Rey semifinals despite losing to Mallorca 1-0 Thursday. Aritz Aduritz made up for an earlier penalty miss with a headed goal in the 45th minute to even the series 2-2 on aggregate, but Getafe's two away goals from the first leg were enough to put it through. Getafe will play Sevilla in a rematch of the 2007 final, which Sevilla won. Getafe goalkeeper Oscar Ustari stopped Aduritz's penalty on the half hour but couldn't stop the Basque striker's header two minutes into first-half stoppage time as he got high over his marker to turn in the corner kick. Atletico Madrid was to travel to second-division Celta Vigo later Thursday with their series tied 1-1 after the first leg. That winner will face Racing Santander, which beat Osasuna 3-0 Wednesday to advance 5-1 overall. Sevilla beat Deportivo La Coruna 3-1 on aggregate despite a 1-0 defeat Wednesday. Inter beats struggling Juve In Milan, Mario Balotelli scored a minute from time to give Inter Milan a 2-1 win over beleaguered Juventus in their Italian Cup quarter-final Thursday. Juve coach Ciro Ferrara could now face the sack, according to media reports, after his team's woeful run continued despite taking a 10th-minute lead when Inter reserve goalkeeper Francesco Toldo let a Diego shot through his body. Host Inter deservedly equalized when Lucio prodded in Wesley Sneijder's deflected free kick midway through the second half and Balotelli sealed victory after Gianluigi Buffon could only parry Thiago Motta's shot. The Italian champion will meet Fiorentina in next month's two-legged semifinals with AS Roma playing Udinese in the other tie. Ronaldo appeal rejected Real Madrid's appeal against Cristiano Ronaldo's red card and two-match suspension has been rejected, the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) said Thursday. After considering Real's arguments, the federation's appeals committee ruled that the ban and a 600-euro fine ($842) for the Portuguese forward should stand, the RFEF said on its website. Real said in a statement on its website it would take the case to Spain's Sporting Disciplinary Committee (CEDD), a body overseen by the government sports council (CSD). That could mean the suspension is put on hold and Ronaldo would then be available to coach Manuel Pellegrini for Saturday's trip to fifth-placed Deportivo Coruna. Ronaldo was shown a straight red card in Sunday's 2-0 win over Malaga after catching defender Patrick Mtiliga with a flailing arm and breaking his nose. The RFEF's disciplinary committee decided Ronaldo's actions were not wilful or reckless, which would have meant a longer suspension, but that he had been guilty of dangerous play. Ronaldo apologized to Mtiliga immediately after the game but said the red card was “a disgrace” and insisted he never tried to hurt another player. It was his second dismissal of the season following his sending-off against Almeria in December for kicking out at an opponent after he had been booked for taking off his shirt in a goal celebration.
