Absent from school
A mother's phonecall to police this morning on finding out that her son was not at school, prompted a search of all of the coaches which travelled from León to Madrid for this evening's Copa del Rey return leg tie between Real Madrid and Cultural Leonesa.
En route to Madrid
The mother had a feeling that her son was making his way down to the capital to watch his team, Cultural Leonesa, at the Santiago Bernabéu. Motorway police stopped all buses carrying fans en route to Madrid and identified the child then drove him back to his anxious parents in León, according to information released by sportleon.com.
