European football: Simeone’s son keeps in-form Atlético Madrid on trophy trail Diego Simeone’s son Giuliano scored twice in the first half to help Atlético Madrid to a resounding 5-0 home win over Getafe in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Ángel Correa then scored with a superb low shot from distance in the 78th minute, before setting up Alexander Sørloth, who also came on in the second half, to seal the rout four minutes from time.
Simeone opened the scoring after eight minutes with a close-range header from just outside the six-yard box off a Javi Galán cross, before bagging his second with a first-time effort nine minutes later.
Substitute Barcola doubled the lead in the 71st minute as he got hold of a lofted ball from Nuno Mendes, sprinted into the box and finished at the near post.
Jiri Letacek denied Samuel Lino’s attempt from close range with a great save before the half-hour mark, but the Brazilian managed to make it 3-0 in the 42nd minute after brilliantly cutting inside a defender in the box.
