 MADRID – Atletico Madrid lost 3-2 on Tuesday to Las Palmas in the second leg of their Copa del Rey round-of-16 tie, but the goals from Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa were enough for the Colchoneros to advance 4-3 on aggregate. Having lost 2-0 at home in the first leg, Las Palmas began the night very much the underdog. The teams held each other scoreless for the first 45 minutes. Griezmann broke the deadlock just three minutes into the second half, capitalizing on a great ball from Nicolas Gaitan. Marko Livaja, with an outstanding individual effort, equalized for the visitors in the 56th minute only to see Angel Correa make it 2-1 for the hosts just 4 minutes later. Las Palmas, however, didn’t fold and Livaja brought his side level with a goal in the 88th minute with an assist from Mateo Garcia, who scored in the final minute of regulation to give the Canary Islands club a 3-2 advantage. |
