		Thank you for following the game with us! Good night! (23:52:50)
		After the two goals through Diego Costa and Falcao in the first half, Atético was almost through as Sevilla needed four consecutive goals at this point. Although the hosts scored a late equalizer after creating many, many good scoring chances, this came too late for a further reaction and the Atlético success was never in real danger. In the Copa del Rey final we'll see a match between the two archrivals from Madrid - Atlético and Real!
		Game over.
	90+3	It's gettin ugly again. Kondogbia was booked already but he sees a direct red card for an assault against Diego Costa!

	83	Suddenly Diego Costa made it past all opponents but his shot went just wide!

	77	Rakitic (Sevilla) sees the next yellow card for a brutal foul in the midfield. Sevilla show their ugly face now!

	46	Sevilla with their first change of the game. Del Moral is in for Reyes.
	46	Start of 2nd half.
		Sevilla are the dominating team but the guests from Madrid were incredibly effective in the first 45 minutes with goals by Diego Costa and Falcao. Minutes before the half time break Jésus Navas brought the hosts back in this match with a beautiful curler in the far corner. Due to more away goals scored by Atlético Sevilla would need a 4-2 win currently!
		1st halftime finished.
	45	One minute is added to the first half.
	44	Sevilla continue with a lot of pressure but they are very unlucky.
	42	Kondogbia (Sevilla) gets the first yellow card of the game for a hard entry against Raúl García.
	41	Cross from the right half field. Rakitic came from the left side of the Atlético area, stood completely free but his header from a short distance only hit the side netting!! Medel had let the ball through for the Croatian midfielder as he was in the better position.
	39	Goal for Sevilla! What a beautiful strike by JESÚS NAVAS!! He received a pass by Moreno from the left wing and from the border of the 18-yard box his curler went into the right corner from the inner side of the post!
	37	Sevilla continue to attack aggressively, they get a lof of corners but no goal yet.
	34	There just were some aggressions when Diego Costa touched the face of Moreno with his left hand.
	33	The following corner was caught by Courtois with problems.
	32	Cross by Sevilla from the right side. Cleared by a defender at the near post. The following shot then was blocked for the next corner.
	30	The hosts are shocked. They would need four goals now to get into the next round as Atlético have already scored more away goals than they did in Madrid.
	29	Goal for Atlético! Just a minute later Diego Costa did it much better. He waited again at the left outside lane where he received a long ball, he went towards the endline and gave a brilliant pass towards the six-yard box from where FALCAO scored from a short distance! 2-0 Atlético!
	28	Diego Costa with a long run over the left wing, loses the ball.
	26	Atlético with the turnover inside the home team's half but Raúl García commited a foul and they had to break up their attack.
	24	The guests from Madrid already have to use their first option for a change. Tiago leaves the pitch with an injury and Mario Sáurez is in for him.
	23	Botía used his elbow in an aerial duel with Raúl García. The following free kick cross by the guests from the half field ended in the arms of Beto.
	21	On the other side of the pitch Beto caught a cross by Juanfran easily.
	20	What a chance for the home side! Navas with a cross from the right side of the guest area, too high for Courtois who didn't look too well but at the second post Medel missed the wide open net with his header and instead the ball went past the left post!!
	19	After a cross from the right wing, Courtois cleared the ball with problems.
	17	The hosts claim another handball by an Atlético defender inside the guests' half without a positive decision by the referee. Teixeira Vitienes already had several unpopular decisions.
	16	Despite Raúl García pulling the jersey of Reyes in front of the guest area, the referee denied a free kick for Sevilla...
	15	In the midfield Medel received a hit by Falcao who used his elbow.
	14	Just seconds later Negredo couldn't controll a cross by Navas from the right wing.
	14	The hosts with a cross from the left outside lane but it was intercepted easily by the guest defense.
	12	Rather strange decision by the referee. Raúl García first played the ball with his hands, then fouled his opponent but he received a free kick in the Atlético half...
	11	Negredo received the ball inside the area after the corner from the left side, turned around and found Kondogbia but the Sevilla midfielder lost the ball.
	10	After a deflection in the midfield Sevilla have their next corner.
	8	Sevilla invest more now. They need two goals to at least get into extra time (remember: the first leg ended with a 2-1 for Atlético).
	6	Goal for Atlético! DIEGO COSTA received a ball at the right side of the Sevilla area, went past two defenders and from about 18 metres his shot went into the left bottom corner. No chance for Beto to avoid the early guest lead!
	5	Atlético start forward Falcao with his first important scene in this match but his shot goes over the crossbar.
	4	On the other side Kondogbia tries it with a shot but the ball goes wide significantly.
	3	Beto just caught a cross by Gabi. Easy task for him.
	2	Diego Costa was going for the counter but Medel stopped him with a fould. The game starts with a lot of action.
	1	Sevilla already with the first corner after not even one minute.
	1	Game started.

		Sevilla FC receive Atlético Madrid for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. In the first legt Atlético won a strange game with three red cards and three penalty shots 2-1 so that a draw or a 0-1 loss would already be enough for them. In the league Atlético beat Sevilla 4-0. The guests again are the favourites but Sevilla is far away from being chanceless at home.
		Welcome. Game starts at 21:00 GMT / 22:00 CET.
