Atlético Madrid 1-Getafe 0 | First Suárez, then to suffer

Atlético beat Getafe thanks to a goal in a set piece. He had a good start to the game, scored and then disappeared. In the second half he barely reached the goal of a Getafe that touched the tie. The leader suffered a lot and breathed a sigh of relief when the referee whistled the end.

Atlético signed Luis Suárez for plays like 1-0. The Uruguayan finished perfectly with a head in a set piece, in a masterful delivery from Carrasco. The foul ended with the rojiblanco's first goal, the eighth in Luis Suárez's championship, although that did not mean, far from it, that Getafe surrendered. Quite the opposite. The match had been red and white until the goal, with Atlético handling the ball judiciously, opening the field on the right with Vrsaljko and on the left with Carrasco. He had possession and a clear chance through a shot at Lemar's post. The Frenchman, already starting in these last games, moved between the lines again to connect with João Félix and Luis Suárez.

Getafe woke up with the goal against and stretched towards the Oblak area. The Bordalás team did not bite as it has done on other occasions against Atlético. He stood away from his area, but did not put pressure on his rival. Getafe, with Ángel and Mata at the top, began to create damage, almost always from the left, looking for Vrsaljko's back. The Croatian played a few days ago in the Cup, but the last demanding match was on March 11 against Liverpool, where he entered extra time. Trippier's penalty will give him minutes.

Getafe was able to tie with a point-blank shot from Etxeita that went wide. That action served as a warning to an Atlético who let time pass until they reached the break, as they found themselves thicker, with less weight of their important players in the game. The azulón team, with Cucurella very insistent, went from less to more and the Cholo team did well with the break.

The resumption offered a similar panorama, with Atlético crouching and Getafe insisting in search of the tying goal. The Bordalás team returned to deepen through Cucurella, an Atlético player, a fighter, without giving any lost ball and very well equipped technically. The rojiblanco team spent a few minutes where their main concern was to save the site and not go through too much trouble. Vrsaljko left in the 56th minute, as he is not yet for many trots. Marcos Llorente became the right lane and Saúl occupied the interior, first on the right side and then on the left. Marcos Llorente occupied a position that is one of the few that he lacked while Saúl, who has lost his status as a permanent fixture in the team, tried to give the team legs, as the Atlético coach often says.

Simeone began to ask his team to leave their field, since the rojiblanco team became increasingly locked in their field. Getafe finished twice through Mata, once with a header and another with a long shot. Atlético did not catch any against and Simeone moved the bench in the absence of twenty minutes: João Félix came out, who made a gray match, and Correa entered. And Lemar left to make way for Torreira. The Uruguayan positioned himself as a pivot ahead of the rear of an Atlético that was getting further and further behind. With ten minutes remaining, Luis Suárez left the field and Giménez came out, converted into right lane. The game was a suffering for Atlético, sheltered in front of Oblak. A rojiblanco team from the old days. He won and leaves as leader at the end of this 2020, but he made one of the worst games in this year.
