Sorloth Unleashes Passion at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid rediscovered victory at the Metropolitano, boosted by an early goal from Alexander Sorloth against Rayo Vallecano. The Norwegian striker opened the scoring after two minutes, following a cross from Giuliano Simeone, unleashing euphoria in the stands.
This goal, Sorloth’s 17th in the red and white shirt, was the fastest he has achieved since arriving at the club, surpassing his previous mark against Elche in the Copa del Rey. Sorloth was particularly connected with his teammates, becoming a reference in quick transitions and pressing in the opposing half.
In addition to the goal, he had two more clear chances, both headers from Galán’s crosses. Substituted in the 61st minute by Griezmann, Sorloth left the field to applause, demonstrating his value and complicating the French player’s starting position, whose performance has been uneven in recent months.
This match marks a before and after for Sorloth, who has shown that he can be a key piece in Cholo’s scheme. His connection with the team and his ability to generate danger are important assets for facing upcoming challenges. Red and white fans celebrate the great moment of the Norwegian, who promises to continue giving joy at the Metropolitano. With performances like this, Sorloth earns a place in the hearts of the Colchoneros.
