Sharing of points among our team and Valencia in the fight for the third place in the BBVA League. Koke, on 32 minutes, opened the scoring and Mustafi equalised it on 78.
The placid night at the Vicente Calderón started with two teams very well defined on the pitch. It was in the 32nd minute when Koke made an accurate right-footed shot from a rehearsed play to sign the result with which they would reach half time.
The concentration and the dominance of the red and whited spread during the second half. Simeone’s players continued to manage the tempos of the game and thus arrived the first chances to score. Godin headed a ball to Tiago, who crashed it on the crossbar with his left leg. However, on 78 minutes, Mustafi headed from inside the box to equalise the match.
