Atletico Madrid beat Getafe 5-0 to reach Copa del Rey semi-finals

Atletico Madrid beat Getafe 5-0 to reach the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

In the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid hosted their little neighbor Getafe CF – and lived up to their role as favorites from the outset. After just eight minutes, Simeone headed in the ball from Javi Galan to make it 1-0. A few minutes later, the 22-year-old made it 2-0: De Paul allowed a long ball from Alvarez to drop, leaving Simeone to simply slide the ball into the net (17′).

Even after the 2-0, it remained a one-goal game with good chances for the Rojiblancos. Shortly before half-time, Samuel Lino was able to reward the hosts’ efforts: The ball came to the left midfielder via Alvarez, who, after a feint, shot into the far corner for Atletico’s third goal (42′).

Match decided at half-time – it was clear at the end

After the break, the game slowed down, Atletico slowed down a bit. Getafe couldn’t score despite three changes at the break. So in the 78th minute at the latest, the lid was finally on it: substitute Correa tried his luck from around 25 meters with a low shot – the 4-0 for the Madrileneans. Shortly thereafter, Correa then served another joker on the counterattack: his cross was completed by Sörloth, who had also come on, for the fifth goal (86′).

After the victory in the local derby, Atletico will face the Derbi Madrileno at the weekend: Diego Simeone’s team will be guests of Real Madrid on Saturday at 9 p.m. CET. Getafe will continue a day later at Alaves (2 p.m. CET).
