Morata dampens Granada’s momentum

Álvaro Morata’s goal in the 54th minute enabled Atlético de Madrid to win. slightly better in the first half and much more toned down in the second half before A bold and impetuous Granada but without a goal.

Granada started the match better and won in the first quarter.and I was only worried about the shot of Argentinian Lucas Boyé this is out of the way.

As the minutes ticked by, Atlético de Madrid monopolized possession, but circulation was slow and inconsistent against a Granada team that always had good positioning.

Half an hour later, the guest team went on the attack for the first time with Rodrigo Riquelme’s individual play and the ball ended up in the hands of Argentinian goalkeeper Augusto Batalla. Frenchman Antoine Griezmann’s follow-up attack had a shot against the crossbar disallowed Due to Marcos Llorente’s previous absence.

Colchoneros improved towards the end of the break and Álvaro Morata looked to score with a header but without a goal, an option that was answered with a long shot from Gerard Gumbau in the last part of the first half.

The start of the second half for Atlético was something else because they were much sharper and more engaged. They came close to scoring in just five minutes with Brazilian Samuel Lino and Argentinian Rodrigo De Paul coming off the bench in the first half.

Emotions turned into a goal in the 54th minute. Morata’s shot after Griezmann’s cross makes it 0-1Although the game was analyzed for several minutes in the VOR Room a possible offside According to the assistant, first the non-existent attacker, then the technology.

In favor of the score, Lino forgiven 0-2 In the next action before a successful Battle. Later, Saúl Ñíguez also scored with a header, but this time there was no doubt he was offside and it was disallowed.

Granada tried to move up to equalize the competition but A very quiet Atletico barely got into trouble.

But Slovenia Jan Oblak intervened after Uruguayan Matías Arezo was shot and Belgian Alex Witsel had to serve between duties The shot was made by Uruguayan Bruno Méndez.

With local people devoted to the pursuit of togetherness with motivation rather than success, Griezmann awarded the penalty with a shot that hit the post.

Atlético de Madrid suffered in extra time, Mario Hermoso blocked Matías Arezo’s goal between the sticks This would equalize the match.
