It was a match of vert few clear-cut chances, but a massive one would fall Atleti’s way in the first half. Nahuel Molina was fouled by Marcao inside the penalty area, allowing Antoine Griezmann a golden opportunity to open the scoring. However, it was one he failed to take, as he fired his spot kick over Orjan Nyland’s crossbar.JAMB Portal

Atletico Madrid were able to see out the remaining minutes, albeit only just. Sevilla were awarded a late penalty, which was then overturned by VAR. It means that Atleti join Real Sociedad, Mallorca and Athletic Club in the final four of the Copa del Rey.
