SIMAO Sabrosa scored twice to lead Atletico Madrid to a 5-1 victory over Recreativo Huelva and into the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Thursday.
Atletico erased a three-goal deficit from the first leg with Sergio Aguero's 53rd-minute goal, but Recreativo substitute Carlos Carmona tied the two-leg series with his valuable away goal in the 71st.
With Atletico down to 10 men, Simao curled a free-kick into the top corner in the 84th for his side to advance 5-4 on aggregate.
Simao opened the scoring at Vicente Calderon Stadium in the 21st before Aguero doubled the lead with a redirection three minutes later.
Tomas Ujfalusi headed Simao's corner in off the underside of the crossbar as the host tied the series before Aguero managed to put Atletico ahead following a wild goal line scramble.
But Carmona stole from Paulo Assuncao deep inside the Atletico area and beat David De Gea to put the visitors ahead on away goals.
Atletico was forced to go for another score one man down after Assuncao picked up a second yellow card minutes after Carmona's goal and Simao picked the near corner perfectly after Aguero was fouled on the edge of the area.
Atletico, which had never recovered from such a deficit in the domestic cup competition, advanced to play another second-division side in Celta Vigo.
Earlier, Mario Suarez's injury-time goal provided Mallorca with a 3-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano to also advance.
Victor Casadesus scored both of Mallorca's goals in the second half before taking a hit to the head to exit with 10 minutes left.
Suarez, his replacement, volleyed home during an injury-time goalmouth scramble to put the hosts through 4-3 overall.
Rayo opened during first half extra time as Sergio Pachon provided a perfect throughball for Francesco "Piti" Medina, who moved clear into the area and blew a right-footed shot straight over goalkeeper German Lux.
Mallorca will face Getafe, which eliminated Malaga 6-3 on aggregate with a 5-1 win on Wednesday.
