Atletico Madrid crushed Getafe 5-0, securing their place in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey for the second consecutive time. With a brilliant first half led by Giuliano Simeone, Diego Simeone's team quickly put the game out of reach, leaving Getafe without a response as they failed to show their best form.
In just nine minutes, Simeone scored two goals to set the tone for the rout. Ángel Correa joined the celebration with a powerful long-range shot for 4-0 at the 33rd minute, and Alexander Sorloth capped off the decisive victory with the fifth goal. Samuel Lino scored the third goal with a cross shot in the area before halftime.
In the second half, Atletico lowered the intensity but still had opportunities to increase their lead. Now, the team's focus shifts to the Madrid derby against Real Madrid next Saturday, crucial in the battle for the LaLiga lead.
Giuliano Simeone, in great form, opened the scoring with a header in the 8th minute and doubled the lead in the 17th after an excellent combination between Julián Álvarez and Rodrigo De Paul. As the match progressed, Getafe lost intensity and ceased to be the combative team that usually troubles their opponents.
