Atlético Enforces Their Law at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid delivered a solid performance in their recent Madrid derby, demonstrating forcefulness and superiority from the start. Simeone’s team, driven by the need to recover after the defeat in Las Palmas, dominated the match with effective and vertical play.
Sorloth, starting in place of Griezmann, justified the coach’s decision with an outstanding performance, opening the scoring after an excellent assist from Correa. His attitude and commitment were key to the Rojiblancos’ triumph.
Oblak’s security between the posts was fundamental, with providential interventions that kept the goal at zero, especially against Isi’s attempts. Llorente, tireless in his physical display, was key in the creation of the first goal, demonstrating his understanding with Giuliano.
De Paul, back in the starting eleven, contributed vision of play and precision in the pass, as evidenced in the assist for Gallagher’s second goal. Gallagher, increasingly adapted to the left-back position, not only fulfilled his defensive duties but also surprised with a header goal, consolidating his position in the team.
Correa, in addition to his outstanding assist, demonstrated his commitment in defense and attack. Griezmann, entering in the second half, was greeted with an ovation and was quick to leave his mark, assisting Julián for the third goal. In summary, a convincing victory for Atlético that excites the fans and reaffirms their ambition in the season.
