Match Reports

Antoine Griezmann's inspirational second-half cameo came to nothing as Girona overcame Atletico Madrid on away goals in the Copa del Rey.

Substitute Borja Garcia's shot fired in off Seydou Doumbia in the 88th minute to undo Antoine Griezmann's inspirational rescue act and hand Diego Simeone's men a heart-breaking exit from a tournament they last won in 2013.

Griezmann, introduced on the hour, had only moments previously completed a quickfire Atletico comeback by lashing them into the lead after helping Angel Correa level the scores inside 90 minutes.

12'GOAL! Atletico 1-0 Girona (Kalinic)

GOAL!!! Breakthrough for Atletico and it is Kalinic with the finish. Twice already the striker has made the run in behind and this time he is found by a wonderful Godin pass. Kalinic latches onto the ball and thunders his shot low and hard into the back of the net. It's 1-0 to Atletico.

37'GOAL! Atletico 1-1 Girona (Valery)

GOAL! Girona have compounded Atletico’s misery. And what a way to do it. A clipped cross by Porro is headed to the far left edge of the area where Fernandez cushions the ball with his chest before firing a right-footed rocket of a volley past Adan and into the far corner. 1-1!

59'GOAL! Atletico 1-2 Girona (Stuani)

GOAL GIRONA! Aleix Garcia delivers a pinpoint free kick right onto the head of Cristhian Stuani. The former Middlesbrough man rose highest of all and powered his header into the bottom right corner. 2-1 Girona.

66'GOAL! Atletico 2-2 Girona (Correa)

84'GOAL! Atletico 3-2 Girona (Griezmann)

GOAL! ATLETICO HAVE THE LEAD AND IT’S GRIEZMANN! Lemar picks the ball up on the left, jinks inside before scooping the ball over the defence and into the path of Griezmann. The Frenchman has little net to aim at but smashes it high into the net. 3-2 Atletico Madrid!

88'GOAL! Atletico 3-3 Girona (Doumbia)

GOAL! EQUALISER! Girona have made it 3-3 with three minutes left. Seydou Doumbia is found in the box by Gracia and the substitute places the ball right-footed, through the legs of the Atletico defender and into the bottom corner.
