In the quarter-final contest, Atletico Madrid set the tone early in the contest and took the lead in the 12th minute when David Hancko rose highest to meet a corner and calmly headed the ball into the left side of the net.
Atletico Madrid showed no signs of slowing down in the second half and wrapped up the scoring in the 62nd minute.
Lookman played a key role again, releasing Antoine Griezmann through on goal, and the French forward made no mistake as he struck early from the edge of the box, sending a superb shot into the top right corner to complete a convincing 4-0 win.
Later in the 83rd minute, Thiago Almada latched onto a rebound and thumped home the fifth goal to seal an emphatic cup win for Atletico Madrid against a helpless Real Betis side.
After his dream debut, Lookman will be full of confidence heading into the upcoming matches.
