Star signing scores on debut in Ligue 1 🔥 | OneFootball

Already decisive!

This Thursday evening, Atlético de Madrid triumphed on the pitch of Real Betis in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey (0-5).

For this match, Diego Simeone decided to throw his star winter signing into the deep end by including Ademola Lookman in the starting XI.

It didn't take long for the Nigerian to find his footing in an Atlético team that was overwhelmingly dominant.

Already set in motion by goals from David Hancko (12th minute), Giuliano Simeone (30th minute), the Colchoneros saw their new forward increase the score to 0-3 just before halftime (37th minute).

Found in the box, Ademola Lookman eliminated two defenders before finishing with a low shot.

In addition to perfectly launching his new adventure, the Nigerian striker practically ensured Atlético de Madrid's qualification for the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

It should be noted that he also provided an assist for Antoine Griezmann in the second half.
