Rasheedat Ajibade left it late to score the winner as Atletico Madrid pipped Real Sociedad 1-0 in a Spanish Copa de la Reina quarter-final contest at Estadio Zubieta XXI on Wednesday.
Heading into the tie, Atletico had failed to make it past the Round of 16 in the last edition, following a shock defeat to Real Betis.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad sought a repeat of a 2-1 triumph over Atletico in the 2019 final, having failed to progress from the Round of 16 at the expense of Madrid CFF in the last edition.
To avoid back-to-back Spanish Cup losses to Sociedad, Atletico forced Natalia Arroyo's team to a goalless draw in the first half.
