It will still be necessary to count on Julian Alvarez this season. Mute since 6 games, the Argentinian international has caught up by offering himself a tripled this evening against Rayo Vallecano. An XXL performance which allowed the Colchoneros to leave with the three points (3-2), when they were led in the 78th minute. The light first came from the feet of the Argentinian, author of a superb goal on a center of Marcos Llorente at the second post (15th). Chavarria equalized (45+1st), then Alvaro Garcia even allowed Madrilenians to pass in front of the match (78th).
Alvarez equalized as an opportunistic after a Batalla stop in front of Simeone (80th), then the highlight of the show came from his left foot just before stopping games with this monumental strike to offer victory to his own (88th). Atlético is 8th in the championship, the Rayo is 14th. In the other evening meeting, Real Sociedad won against Mallorca thanks to Oyarzabal (1-0). This is the first success of the Basques this season, now 16th. Mallorca is 19th.
