This Saturday, Atletico Madrid welcomed Granada at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium for matchday 23 of the Spanish League. Following a five-game negative streak, the Colchoneros found their way back to victory and beat the Andalusian side 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by Angel Correa.

Visitors Granada went on in search of a possible equalizer, but they couldn’t transform the chances into goals. The home side took once again control of the game and even scored their second goal through Vitolo, but it was disallowed due to an offside position from the striker.

After half-time, the Colchoneros came back still attacking and had a good chance to double the scoring when Saul Niguez shot low, but the goalkeeper made a good save.

Being 1-0 down, the Andalusian side went full attack and obligated Atletico’s world-class keeper, Jan Oblak, to make a few important saves. Granada was pressing so much that Diego Simeone went full Diego Simeone and parked the bus at home to guarantee the 3 points in the league.
