Already decisive!

This Thursday evening, Atlético de Madrid travel to Real Betis for the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

It didn’t take long for the Nigerian to find his feet in an Atlético side that was completely dominant.

Already set on their way by goals from David Hancko (12th minute) and Giuliano Simeone (30th), the Colchoneros saw their new striker make it 0-3 just before halftime (37th).

Found in the box, Ademola Lookman beat two defenders before finishing with a low shot.

In addition to getting his new adventure off to a perfect start, the Nigerian striker has all but secured Atlético de Madrid’s place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
