After a delicate start to the season, Atlético de Madrid is regaining color. Fourth this Saturday, the capital club faced Sevilla FC for an important meeting in the title race. And facing the amorphous Andalusians, the Colchoneros encountered no difficulty in front of their supporters at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Superior, the Matelassiers created numerous opportunities (29th, 37th) but were unable to make the difference during the first act.

Carried by an annoying Sorløth-Álvarez duo for the opposing defense, Atlético broke the Sevillian lock thanks to a penalty converted by the Argentine striker shortly after the hour mark (1-0, 64th). From then on, Diego Simeone’s men followed up with goals from Thiago Almada (2-0, 77th) and Antoine Griezmann (3-0, 90th). With this victory, Atlético returns to the level of FC Barcelona and consolidates its fourth place. Sevilla FC remains eleventh.
