Griezzman's genius
The game could not have started better for Atlético de Madrid. The “Rojiblancos” managed to get ahead on the scoreboard after just nine minutes thanks to a beautiful goal from Antoine Griezmann. The French striker received the ball in midfield, reached the area with a powerful run and beat Rulli with an exquisite chip.
Koke's return
The midfielder from Madrid returned to Diego Pablo Simeone's starting lineup after overcoming a thigh injury. His impact on the team became critical again because the goal of Griezmann was born from one of his great passes.
The draw, a matter of centimeters
In the second half, Real Sociedad came close to get the draw through several chances. After the first hour of play, an attempt of clearance by Jackson Martinez came close to surprise Oblak and finish putting the ball into his own net. Eventually, the header of the Colombian ended in a corner.
"Txuri-Urdin" siege
Real Sociedad fought with confidence to turn the match around and Atlético defenders had to show their best version to prevent it. The draw was so close again for David Moyes´s team in a play in which Filipe Luis finished pulling the ball away in between the posts after a shot by Zurutuza.
Sending off and the finisher
Mexican Diego Reyes was sent off in the 89th minute, leaving the Basques outnumbered. After that, the "Rojiblancos" took advantage in a counterattack to kill off the game by a Yannick Ferreira Carrasco who celebrated the first goal of his career in Liga BBVA. Later on, Jonathas was also sent off after a second yellow card.
