PAMPLONA, Spain (Reuters) - Moroccan forward Ez Abde scored from a quick counter-attack early in the second-half to give Osasuna a 1-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao in an ill-tempered Copa del Rey semi-final first leg on Wednesday.

Both teams will meet again in Bilbao on April 4 with the winner to face either Real Madrid or Barcelona, who will play their semi-final first-leg on Thursday.
