Third and final meeting of this Sunday which counts for the 13th day of La Liga. At the Civitas Metropolitano, Atlético de Madrid hosted Villarreal for a prestigious meeting between two teams with different starts to the season. While the Colchoneros are in first place and are in good shape, the yellow submarine is stuck in the soft underbelly of La Liga. However, it was the visitors who struck quickly thanks to Gérard Moreno (0-1, 20th).

Conscientious in their meeting, Pacheta’s flock were finally rejoined just before the break because of the opportunistic Witsel, alone at the far post (1-1, 45+1). After returning from the locker room, Atlético had to wait until the last ten to make the difference. Sparkling recently, Antoine Griezmann restored the advantage in the 80th minute before Samuel Lino confirmed his team’s victory by concluding a lethal counter-attack. With this precious success, the Matelassiers remain in contact with the three teams on the podium. Villarreal, valiant this evening, remains fourteenth.
