But this Atleti has determination and did not give up. Before halftime, Jano, assisted by Julio Díaz, equalized the score after a great team play, injecting morale into the team.
Right at the start of the second half, Rajado warned with another chance, and soon after, Omar capped off a great run by Julio Díaz to make it 1-2 in the 61st minute. A great goal that put Atleti ahead! Rapid tried to react, but Álvaro Moreno, with a spectacular double save, prevented the equalizer.
Atleti controlled the rest of the match, even coming close to making it 1-3 with a shot from Dani Muñoz. Happy ending! Atlético de Madrid advances to the Round of 16 of the Youth League along with other great teams like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City.
