Copa Del Rey Results: Holders Betis knocked out, Atletico beat Levante to move into quarters:
Atletico boss Diego Simeone played a near full-strength team in an effort to avoid another disappointing showing in a difficult season.
His side, who finished last in their Champions League group and are fourth in LaLiga, having won only one of their last six games, went into the break having had no shots on target.
It took 54 minutes for Atletico to break the deadlock when substitute Angel Correa sprinted up-front and saw his team mate Marcos Llorente ghost into empty space in the right channel and delivered a ball through.
Llorente got into the area before putting it on a plate for Morata, who was waiting at the far post to tap into the empty net.
