Valencia overturned their first leg defeat with a convincing 4-0 win against AZ Alkmaar, taking them through to a semi-final meeting with fellow Spaniards Atlético Madrid. After three losses in a row the knives were out for coach Unai Emery. But with just over a quarter of an hour gone they were already two up, Adil Rami getting in front of keeper Esteban Alvarado to head Feghouli's cross in to the net, and then scoring a second from a wide angle after Soldado headed on a centre from Tino Costa. Soldado also went close a couple of times, and although Maher and Altidore tested Diego Alves before the break, Jordi Alba turned in Soldado's cross after a previous shot from Jonas was blocked on the line to open up a two goal cushion in the tie. Alves still had to keep out Martens as the Dutch league leaders kept up the fight, but with ten minutes to go Pablo Hernández wrapped things up after Alba laid the ball back from the left by-line.
