SEVILLA ADVANCED TO the Copa del Rey semi-finals with a 3-1 second-leg victory over Atletico Madrid at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan last night, despite a stunning goal from Antoine Griezmann.
Griezmann fired in a beautiful 25-yard strike after Sergio Escudero opened the scoring in Andalusia — finishing off a top-class team goal just 24 seconds in.
Ever Banega — with a second-half penalty following Saul Niguez’s foul on Joaquin Correa — and Pablo Sarabia completed a 5-2 aggregate win for Vincenzo Montella’s side.
