Copa del Rey RESULT: Eibar 2-2 Atletico Madrid | Atletico Madrid wins 5-2 on aggregate

Atletico Madrid progressed to the last four of the Copa del Rey despite having to fight back for a 2-2 draw at Eibar in Thursday's (AEDT) quarter-final second-leg contest.

The tie was all but over after the first leg as goals from Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa and Kevin Gameiro handed Diego Simeone's men a 3-0 aggregate lead.

Eibar's task was made even more difficult when Jose Gimenez headed home Nicolas Gaitan's corner shortly after half-time.

However, a match that had produced little in terms of quality had a thrilling ending as Eibar, much to its credit, refused to cave in and two goals in seven minutes from Sergi Enrich and Pedro Leon saw the Basque club, which had reached the quarter-finals for the first time, take a 2-1 lead.

Atleti extinguished any slim hopes of what would have been a remarkable comeback, however, as Juanfran brilliantly lobbed Yoel in the Eibar goal with five minutes remaining to earn a draw and a 5-2 aggregate victory.

Simeone's men consequently reach the last four for the first time since 2014, but he will perhaps be disappointed with his side's failure to win having only drawn 2-2 at Athletic Bilbao in LaLiga on Monday (AEDT).
