THE GOAL:
0-1. 60’. Miranda heads into the net a corner kick bounced to the near post by Koke from the right.
Atlético de Madrid took the field of the Juegos Mediterráneos Stadium to win the three important points to continue unbeaten in the League. The ball was one of ours and Moyá was another spectator in the first half in which Rubén saved the locals from Raúl García’s shots, twice, and once from Tiago.
Simeone decided to make Saul enter in the interval for Mario Suárez and the team took a step forward to make the game definitively theirs. Our team approached more Rubén’s goal and the goal had to come from a set piece. Once again with the spectacular assistant of this Atlético, Koke, who threw a corner kick to the near post and Miranda headed into the net. The match was on our side and the team knew how to keep the advantage. Even, Arda Turan and Cerci could have increased the distance on the scoreboard, although it was enough to achieve the third victory in the League. And the first in the history of our visits to Almeria.
