Atlético de Madrid 5-0 Getafe
Atlético de Madrid delivered a resounding 5-0 victory against Getafe in the Madrid derby. Coach Diego Simeone made use of his squad’s depth by fielding a team with several less-regular starters, and the game was far from competitive. Atlético dominated right from the start. Giuliano Simeone opened the scoring in the 8th minute, doubling his tally just nine minutes later. Samuel Lino struck just before halftime to make it 3-0, essentially putting the game out of reach. Late goals from Correa and Sorloth completed the rout, wrapping up the first quarterfinal match in style.
