🇪🇸 Atlético de Madrid avoid Copa del Rey scare to see off Lugo | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid avoided a Copa del Rey scare to see off third-tier Lugo in Saturday’s Round of 32.

Scorers: Antonietti 40′; Correa 2′, Depay 66′, 74′

Ángel Correa broke the deadlock early on at the Estadio Ángel Carro​ by meeting Javi Galán’s cross to the far post with a simple finish

But the hosts struck back near the end of the first half as Leandro Antonetti sidestepped two defenders and squeezed a shot past Jan Oblak in the area.

Diego Simeone made a triple substitution at the interval as Antoine Griezmann, Koke and Rodrigo De Paul all entered the fray in Galicia.

Memphis Depay restored the lead for the Colchoneros midway through the second half with a solo effort to nudge them towards a place in the competition’s last-16.

The Netherlands international doubled his tally just eight minutes later with a sweeping finish from Marcos Llorente’s right-sided pass to stave off any potential fightback.
