In the central match of the La Liga reporting round, Atletico was visiting Seville, who in this match was to demonstrate his claim to a place in the top three. From the first minutes, the wards of Hulen Lopetegi took possession of the territorial advantage, and Atletico very rarely got to someone else's penalty.

“Nervionians” tried to surprise the enemy with an active game on the flanks, but the ball rarely reached the heart of someone else's penalty area. Only at the end of the third half, the wards of Diego Simeone made a meaningful exit to the alien half of the field, but failed to create a dangerous moment. In general, the sharpness of the team did not please.

As a rule, in such fights the standard position is of great importance. It was from there that the goal came. Banega feed found Vasquez's head, and he sent the ball into the corner of the goal - the Cloud could not save. 1-0. After that, Atletico went ahead with great strength, and Morata fell several times in the opponent's penalty area, but the referee was adamant.

Until the end of the first half of the game, the teams didn’t create any worthwhile opportunities for scoring, postponing the most interesting in the second half. Diego Simeone, by the way, made a double substitution during the break. Ten minutes later, Costa, who appeared on the field, evened the score with a header, but the goal was not scored due to an offside position..

However, this was only the first bell for the team of Julen Lopetegi. Already in the next attack, Correa otpasoval on Arias, and he gently hung on the far post, from where he hit Morat with a header. 1: 1. Sevilla was not taken aback and created a moment in response - Luke De Jong punched his head after a feed from the corner, but the ball missed a goal from a far corner.

In the future, the game initiative was on the side of Atletico, and Sevilla relied more on counterattacks. “Mattress”, by the way, earned another penalty. The referees had to work hard to see the foul, and Costa could not beat Watslik with a kick from the “point”.

The pace of the game at the end of the match was interrupted by constant violations of the rules, substitutions and yellow cards, which did not contribute to the appearance of dangerous moments.

Already in compensated time, Kosta punched from someone else's penalty area, but got into a defender, and Morata's attempt was covered by Kunde - the defender first pressed the ball to the ground on the goal line, and then closed it from opponents. More teams were not surprised. The referee's final whistle recorded a draw.

Sevilla - Atletico 1: 1.

Goals: Vasquez, 28 - Morata, 60 Sevilla: Wazlik - Navas, Kunde, Diego Carlos, Regilon - Banega (Poso, 86), Gudel, Vasquez - Ocampos, De Jong (Chicharito, 77), Torres (Jordan, 57) Atletico.
