Goal Festival for Atleti Led by an Unstoppable Sorloth
Atlético de Madrid delivered a true spectacle at the Metropolitano, thrashing Real Sociedad in a memorable match. Jan Oblak kept his goal clean, moving closer to the Zamora trophy.
The starting eleven, faithful to what Simeone rehearsed during the week, featured Sorloth as the sole reference in attack, in a scheme that oscillated between 4-3-3 and 5-4-1. However, the great figure of the match was, without a doubt, Alexander Sorloth.
The Norwegian striker had a historic night, scoring four goals, including a very fast hat-trick in the first minutes of the match. His presence in the rival area was a constant threat to the Real Sociedad defense, which could not contain his effectiveness.
Marcos Llorente, active on the wing, also generated constant danger. Rodrigo de Paul controlled the midfield and Nahuel, after entering, gave a great through pass to Correa. The team demonstrated great defensive solidity, with Giménez and Le Normand attentive to repel rival attacks.
Galán, for his part, exhibited his skills with the ball, providing a luxury assist for one of Sorloth’s goals. Koke led the midfield with precision in passes, while Lino contributed with an assist. In short, a resounding victory and a display of good football that excites the rojiblanca fans.
