Summary of Alavés vs Atlético de Madrid: the hand that changed the game
Alavés focused on defending their goalkeeper Sivera, who made three notable saves during the match, including a controversial handball by Abqar that resulted in a penalty and the first goal for Atlético.
Mouriño, a former Atlético player, returned to his old home and performed well in defense, as did Manu Sánchez and Antonio Blanco. Ander Guevara was the team’s metronome, while Carlos Vicente provided the pass that led to the first penalty for Alavés, which was then converted by Jon Guridi. Kike García and Carlos Martín fought in the attack, but Atlético turned the game around with Sedlar on the field. Toni Martínez and Conechny had no luck in the attack, but Alavés fought until the end of the game.
