Atleti earned a hard-fought win (1-0) against Real Betis thanks to a second half strike by Correa.
The game's first chance was for Filipe Luis, who on the 14th minute hit it wide from outside the box. Immediately after Guardado was injured, and the Mexican was replaced by William Carvalho.
Atleti improved a lot in the second half, and Kalinic hit the post in the 52th minute after a wonderful left-foot shot from outside the box. A few minutes later a fantastic team play ended up once again in the Croat's boot, but his shot was saved by Pau. Kalinic was substituted shortly thereafter by Thomas Partey.
Our team's persistence finally paid off as Correa scored the game's first and only goal in the 75th minute from outside the box, sending the Wanda Metropolitano into delirium.
