Tie in Mexico
Atlético de Madrid tied their first fixture of the 17-18 pre-season, after a 0-0 tie away from home against Deportivo Toluca in the 'Centenary Match' that commemorated the 100 years of the Mexican team.
With Augusto Fernandez as a starter after ten months away from the pitch, our team got little by little into an always matched fixture, creating danger mainly on the right wing thanks to Juanfran Torres’ breakaways.
After the break, the players of Diego Pablo Simeone came closer to the rival goal and just as the second half began, Vietto warned with a shot and a corner kick bounced by Gaitán. Nevertheless, the clearest opportunity would come from Thomas Partey in 59', with a hard shot from the top of the box cleared by Talavera, but the score was unchanged.
