Copa del Rey Semi-Final: Sevilla put one foot in the final

Sevilla stepped ever closer to the final of the Copa del Rey with a convincing 2-0 defeat of Getafe. Both teams have enjoyed solid runs in the cup in recent years, but only one will make it to the final in this years episode, and after tonights show, Sevilla are very much in the driving seat. It took a particularly unpopular decision from Manolo Jiminez to set Sevilla on the road to victory, as Alvaro Negredo was hauled off after 36 minutes to allow Romaric to steady the ship after a turbulent opening half hour where Getafe threatened to run riot. The substitution worked wonders with Luis Fabiano and and an own goal from Mario giving Sevilla a healthy lead to take to the Coliseum.
