Ademola Lookman makes history on Atletico Madrid debut in 5-0 Copa del Rey win over Real Betis

Atletico Madrid thrashed Real Betis 5-0 in the Copa del Rey quarter-final on Thursday.

David Hancko gave Atleti the lead in the 12th minute, rising highest to plant Koke’s corner past Adrian.

Atletico almost doubled their lead when debutant Ademola Lookman evaded his markers, but he shot wide.

Nelson Deossa missed an opportunity to restore parity, rifling a rebound wide.

Atletico doubled their lead as Matteo Ruggeri cut the ball back to Giuliano Simeone, who finished neatly.

Lookman increased the visitors’ advantage in the 37th minute, showing clever footwork and composure to blast the ball past Adrian.

Antoine Griezmann compounded Betis’ woes by adding a fourth goal in the 62nd minute.

He was teed up Lookman, who became the first Atletico player to score and assist on his full debut against a La Liga opponent in any competition since the 2013/14 season.

Thiago Almada completed the rout in the 83rd minute, burying a rebound home.

Atletico have reached the semi-finals alongside Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad. The draw will take place on Friday.
