At the end of the 7th day of La Liga, Atlético de Madrid traveled to Osasuna this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. At El Sadar in Pamplona, Diego Simeone’s men were quick to rely on their strong man of the moment. Already a scorer against Real Madrid, Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring even before the end of the first half hour of play (0-1, 20th). Dominated, the Colchoneros managed to maintain this short advantage, despite numerous opposing opportunities.
Whether it was Johan Mojica, Ante Budimir or Luis Ezequiel Avila, none of Osasuna’s attackers fooled Jan Oblak’s vigilance. Not even David Garcia who saw his goal refused by the VAR at the start of the last quarter of an hour. At the end of the match, Rodrigo Riquelme even completed the victory for his team (0-2, 81st) before a scuffle led to the expulsion of Morata and Avila… In the ranking, Atlético de Madrid climbed to 5th place. Osasuna is 13th.
