Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone's son Giuliano scored twice in the first half to help them to a 5-0 home win against Getafe in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Simeone opened the scoring after eight minutes with a close-range header from just outside the six-yard box off a Javi Galan cross, before bagging his second with a first-time effort nine minutes later.

Visiting goalkeeper Jiri Letacek made a great save to deny Samu Lino's attempt from close range before the half-hour mark, but the Brazilian made it 3-0 in the 42nd minute with a brilliant cut-inside move in the box.

Giuliano thought he had scored a hat trick after the break, but his 49th-minute goal was ruled out for offside before he left the field to a standing ovation on the hour mark.

"I'm very happy tonight, it's been crazy. I want to thank the team because we've made a huge effort," the Argentine winger told Teledeporte after the game.

"I'm happy for the goals, I think about the things I have to improve day by day, I still have many flaws and details that I want to improve to keep growing."

Substitute Ángel Correa then scored with a great low shot from distance in the 78th minute, before setting up Alexander Sorloth, who also came on in the second half, to seal the rout four minutes from time.

Now that they've got a spot in the semi-finals for the second year running, Atlético will be focusing on LaLiga, where they'll be facing leaders Real Madrid in Saturday's derby.

"Today was a very tough game, so we need to rest, prepare well and go for it all on Saturday," the 22-year-old Simeone added.
