LONG WAIT: Atletico's Koke Wheels Away After Scoring |
According to reports on ESPN, Koke's fifth-minute strike was enough to send Atletico through to the last four, although Diego Simeone's men could have killed the tie off in a breathless first 20 minutes. Atletico, without injured star striker Diego Costa, hit the woodwork three times during their early burst and wasted several other chances late on.
