    Atlético Madrid gained a not undeserved 2-1 home win in the first legt of the Copa del Rey semifinals against Sevilla FC. The man of the match was Diego Costa who scored a double for the hosts. The game itself was very much influenced by referee Ayza Gámez who gave three penalties for handball and three red cards. There will be many discussions if really all three handballs were intended or not and especially the penalty for Sevilla and the direct red card against Godín were very harsh decisions.
     
    Game over.
     
    90+4
    A last free kick from the right wing for Atlético but it is cleared easily.
     
    90+3
    Beto tries to clear the ball at the own six-yard box but the guest goalkeeper also hit Diego Costa in the face with his fist!
     
    90+2
    Arda Turan's shot is blocked but then Cebolla Rodríguez takes a volley that is cleared to the side by Beto with a spectacular save!
     
    90
    Three minutes are added to this game.
     
    90
    Free kick almost from the left corner point for Atlético through Gabi and Mario Suárez' header goes wide only by inches!
     
    89
    Cebolla Rodríguez with the cross for Arda but the Turkish midfielder just missed the ball in a good position.
     
    87
    Sevilla's goal scorer Negreo leaves the pitch and defender Coke is his substitute.
     
    86
    Free kick through Gabi over the crossbar. No danger.
     
    85
    Fernando Navarro (Sevilla) was the last man and fouled Diego Costa. He was already booked but sees a direct red card! Very hard decision as there was still another defender with him who could have avoided a chance. His second yellow? Sure. But a direct red card? Not really.
     
    84
    Reyes gets the ball ca. 20 metres in front of the Atlético net but his shot went wide by several metres...
     
    83
    Cicinho with a flat cross pass from the right wing, earns a corner.
     
    82
    Eight minutes are left to play without additional time. Sevilla are trying to create enough pressure for the equalizer while Atlético concentrate only on defense and counter attacks.
     
    80
    Great cross by Sevilla from the left wing and Medel in the Atlético area almost gets a header.
     
    78
    Mario Suárez (Atlético) sees the next yellow card for a foul in his team's half.
     
    77
    Kondogbia leaves the pitch and former Atlético player José Antonio Reyes is in for him.
     
    75
    Diego Costa goes down against two Sevilla defenders in the guest half but the referee lets the play continue.
     
    73
    Arda Turan with the next attack for Atlético over the right wing but Fazio cleared the situation.
