MADRID, 25 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Atlético de Madrid once again conquered LaLiga Promises in Orlando, one year after their triumph in the sixth edition of the tournament held in this city in the United States, by beating RCD Espanyol 2-0 in the final this Sunday.
The return to Orlando smiled again at the rojiblanco team in the LaLiga Promises Santander International Tournament, in a beautiful final played at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Centre.
Espanyol was the one that had the first scoring chances of the match but Atlético was the one that struck first with a great goal from Eric precisely on his birthday. After the break, the Catalan team looked for a reaction and jumped up in search of the equalizer that would force extra time.
However, Atlético pressed very high to make it difficult for the blue and whites to get the ball out and they got the sentence very close to the end with a new goal from Hugo, who had already been the hero in the quarterfinals against FC Barcelona.
