Atlético Madrid advanced to the Copa del Rey semifinals after defeating Real Betis 5–0 away from home in the quarterfinals. The team coached by Diego Simeone overcame the side managed by Manuel Pellegrini to secure a place in the final four of the competition.
The match featured contributions from several Argentine players. Giuliano Simeone scored Atlético’s second goal of the night in the first half, finishing a move inside the box to extend the lead.
In the second half, Nahuel Molina and Thiago Almada entered the match from the bench. Almada scored Atlético’s fifth goal late in the game after following up a rebound and finishing from close range.
Julián Álvarez did not play. The forward was expected to start but was removed from the lineup shortly before kickoff due to stomach discomfort. He remained on the bench and did not take part in the match.
With this result, Atlético Madrid moved on to the Copa del Rey semifinals, with the remaining matchups set to be decided by a draw scheduled for Friday.
