Atletico Madrid V Eibar: A spectacular return, Los Rojiblancos won 3-2

Madrid - Atletico Madrid have made a big difference by organizing Eibar in the third week of the Spanish League. Left behind two goals first, Los Rojiblancos finally won a spectacular 3-2 victory.

Playing at Wanda Metropolitano, Monday (2/9/2019) at dawn WIB, Atletico actually has a dominant ball (59%: 41%). But that does not allow them to freely create opportunities against Eibar.

Over 90 minutes, Atletico fired six shots, 50% of them on target. While Eibar has five hits, with two of them aiming for a goal.


Diego Simeone's team were beaten twice by Eibar in the first round. Namely when Charles and Anaitz Arbilla gave visitors a 2-0 advantage.

Atletico then reacted with Joao Felix and Vitolo's actions. The action seemed to end very strongly, until Thomas Partey finally scored in the opposite period. Atletico won 3-2.

This victory temporarily puts Atletico at the top of the league standings with a perfect score of nine goals in three matches. While Eibar was thrown into the relegation zone by one point

The game

The game only lasted seven minutes when Eibar silenced the home crowd with a goal from Charles. The goal starts with Orellana's dagger on the left side of Atletico's defense. The cross he dropped in front of goal was immediately given to Charles, who grabbed the ball with his head.

In the 13th minute, Diego Costa has a golden opportunity to equalize. But in a face-to-face position with the goalkeeper, his shot is hovering over the target.

2-0! Eibar stepped again.

Orellana once again played a role in creating this goal through a diagonal pass which he made public. This time, the intersection was completed by Arbilla.

Atletico but! In the 27th minute, the host reduced the gap thanks to a two-way collaboration with Joao Felix and Costa. The duo broke through Eibar's defense during a fast attack in the middle of the field. Costa's bait added by Felix changed the score to 2-1.


Although this can reduce the position, Atletico is still struggling to penetrate the defense of his guests. 1-2 score lasted until the first round.

In the second half, Simeone replaces Vitolo to replace Llorente. This decision was right, because only six minutes after the end of the second half, Atletico could score the second goal.

Vitolo equalized to 2-2 after getting a measured pass from Lodi.

Atletico are now trying to keep pressing Eibar. But the visitors held on, they waited longer in the match for their own match and this made Atletico uncomfortable.

Four minutes before the end of the battle, Simeone took out Felix and replaced him with Partey. Once again, the replacement made by the Argentine coach has an instant effect.

Partey scored in extra time to ensure Atletico won 3-2 and recorded a 100% win at the start of the season.
