With nerves of steel, Diego Costa beat Beto from 12 yards out in the first leg and sent the stands of a Vicente Calderon wild with celebration, making it 2-1 to his team ahead of the trip to Seville with a spot in the final of the Cup of His Majesty the King on offer.

The two goals placed him as the top scorer of the competition. The Brazilian opened the scoring for his team in the tournament on October 31 in the win against Jaén in the new stadium of La Victoria in a match ending 0-3. In the next round against Getafe, Diego also made the score sheet at the Calderon and closed the match with the last goal in a 3-0 win.

THE STAT

The team's top scorer in tournament with 6 goals, the striker scored two goals in the quarter-final against Betis, one in the first leg at the Calderon (2-0) and one in the return leg in the Benito Villamarin ( 1-1).

The two goals against Sevilla make the Andalusians team the favourite victim of number 19, who has got to 6 goals in 7 games against them, more than to any other team and half of them in the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. Costa's first goal against Sevilla fans was in a Valladolid shirt in the 2009/2010 season. Subsequently, the Brazilian has repeated that three times in the Atletico and two with Rayo, last season.
